The Santa Cruz Police Department is dedicated and proud to serve the residents of and visitors to our city. Members of the Department work diligently to meet the unique challenges of public safety in a city that plays host to a large tourist population, special events, and seasonal attractions. With a finite amount of resources, the city is divided into five patrol beats: West, East, Beach, Central, and Downtown. The beats are designed to maximize coverage and provide efficient response to calls for service.
