A Message from the Chief

On behalf of the men and women of the Santa Clara Police Department, welcome to our website and thank you for taking the time to learn about our organization. As a longtime police officer and 28-year resident of this fine City, I am honored to have been elected Chief of Police and to have the privilege of serving our community through the balance of this term.

As Chief, I will continue the tradition of ethical policing and am committed to following the principles of our Values Statement. SCPD is led by a six-member Command Staff with approximately 150+ years in combined law enforcement experience. The men and women of this police department take tremendous pride in providing you with outstanding police service by means of the “Santa Clara Way.” This philosophy guides our officers to do their best to serve everyone, every time we are called upon.
