The Santa Clara Police Department has received several inquiries about our policies, procedures, training and statistics. During this critical time, it is important to be transparent and keep the channels of communication open.

A website has been created to let you know where our Department stands, to encourage dialogue and to respond to the inquiries you have posed. The site also references how the Santa Clara Police Department aligns with the guidelines being advocated for by police reform organizations, including the "8Can'tWait" initiative. The site is available at SantaClaraCA.gov/CommittoAction. 

Know we are committed to continual improvement and will build on the outstanding community partnership that already exists in our community. It is a privilege for us to serve, and that privilege is not taken lightly.

This message is from the Santa Clara Police Department.
