We are proud to protect and serve a community that has consistently expressed its appreciation and support for our efforts, while recognizing the value of continuing excellence in public safety. The City of Santa Rosa is fortunate to have the level of dedication and professionalism that is exhibited on a daily basis by the men and women of the Santa Rosa Police Department.
We are striving to create a website that is not only a source of information, but a learning tool that will provide our community and their children with the tools to keep them safe.
