Our Mission
Dedicated to working collaboratively with the community to maintain trust and safety by providing professional services with compassion and integrity
Police Services
The Police Services Patrol Division operate as a typical police department and provide police services 24/7. Public Safety Officers are cross trained to be proficient as both police officers and fire fighters. On occasions with a major structure fire, our officers assigned to patrol will respond to the scene of a fire and then go into their role as a fire fighter.
Patrol responds to calls for service, provides general law enforcement activities, including traffic investigation, reports of criminal activity, crime scene investigation and apprehension of criminals. Our patrol officers are committed to ensuring a high quality of life for our citizens through the use of problem solving strategies, and proactive patrol. Rohnert Park enjoys an extremely low crime index due to the partnering with our citizens to reduce crime and the fear of crime. Some of the community activities we participate in are: National Night Out, Every 15 Minutes, Special Olympics and Coffee with a Cop. The Department of Public Safety also attends various meetings throughout the year with community based organizations to maintain and build trust relationships.
Last year Rohnert Park Public Safety was recognized as one of the top 50 safest college towns in the United States. We are proud of this recent accomplishment and work closely with Sonoma State University to provide a safe community for all residents.
