Interim Chief of Police
On behalf of the Glendale Police Department, I am proud to present the 2025 Annual Report, reflecting a year of growth, innovation, and firm commitment to the Glendale community. This progress is the result of the dedication of the men and women of the Glendale Police Department, who serve each day with a shared mission: to protect our city, strengthen public trust, and enhance quality of life for all who call Glendale home.
This year, we strengthened our workforce, reinforcing critical field operations and specialized units, including the detective, traffic, and downtown policing bureaus. We also expanded the Special Enforcement Detail to address emerging crime trends and persistent quality-of-life concerns through targeted enforcement and proactive problem-solving. These strategic investments, along with enhanced traffic enforcement, contributed to a 7.4% reduction in citywide crime in 2025.
We further advanced our operational capabilities through key regional and organizational improvements. The implementation of a sixth policing district improved patrol coverage and response times, while a state-of-the-art Command Post vehicle strengthened our ability to manage large-scale incidents, emergencies, and natural disasters.
These accomplishments reflect the strength of our partnership with the community we serve. As we look ahead, we remain committed to investing in our people, technology, and capabilities while upholding the highest professional standards. I am deeply grateful for the dedication of our employees, the trust of our community, and the leadership of former Chief Cid, whose guidance has helped position the Glendale Police Department for continued success.

The Glendale Police Department combines proactive enforcement with comprehensive education to enhance traffic safety throughout the community. The Department was awarded a $364,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to support ongoing traffic enforcement and education initiatives aimed at reducing serious injuries and traffic-related fatalities on Glendale roadways. As part of these efforts, the Department provides educational resources on e-motorcycles, e-bikes, and e-scooters that clarify California Vehicle Code requirements, operational guidelines, and safety expectations. Multilingual materials are available to promote community awareness, safe riding practices, and compliance with traffic laws.
In addition, the Department received a $40,000 Motorcyclist Safety Education and Training Program grant, which supports the “Ride to Live” Motorcycle Safety Training Program and enhances both officer development and public outreach. This funding enabled 10 officers to attend advanced motorcycle training, strengthening instructional capacity and operational readiness. Through this program, the Department conducted five eight-hour motorcycle safety courses at no cost to participants, providing comprehensive, hands-on instruction to 99 community members. Together, these efforts reflect GPD’s continued commitment to reducing collisions, increasing rider competency, and promoting safe roadway practices citywide.

DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL HIRED
During the Eaton Fire in January 2025, the Glendale Police Department (GPD) played a key role in supporting regional wildfire response efforts while safeguarding the Glendale community. The City activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC), enabling GPD to coordinate closely with City departments and regional partners to support evacuation notifications, traffic control, situational awareness, and public safety communications. GPD also provided mutual aid assistance to affected jurisdictions as needed during the incident. In addition to operational response, GPD supported community and first responder wellness through partnerships, including the Department’s Facility Dog Brisket, who provided who provided comfort and emotional support to victims and first responders during a challenging time.
The Glendale Safe Initiative was launched in 2025 as a proactive public safety initiative focused on increasing visibility, coordination, and engagement in areas experiencing quality-of-life concerns and recurring calls for service. During Phase 1, the Glendale Police Department implemented targeted enforcement, high-visibility patrols, and coordinated outreach efforts in collaboration with city departments and community partners. The project emphasized deterrence through presence, rapid response to community concerns, and improved information sharing, laying the foundation for longer-term strategies aimed at enhancing public safety and neighborhood well-being.
