In The Community

Business Watch & Neighborhood Watch

Even in lockdown during a global pandemic, the San Pablo Police Department made efforts to stay connected with our community. Staff from our Community Outreach Unit conducted outreach to each business in San Pablo to follow-up and educate on best practices and most upto-date health orders from Contra Costa County. We were also proactive with our residents in reaching out to our Neighborhood Watch Groups in learning their perspective and priorities during this challenging time. Since July 2020, we’ve been able to virtually hold five Business Watch meetings and twelve Neighborhood Watch meetings with our Community. We are grateful for their continued support and we look forward to being able to meet in person soon.

IN THE COMMUNITY

This past year has been extremely tough for us as we were unable to deliver the same Community Programing as we’ve had in years past due to the health orders during the pandemic. With that said, we remained active by staying in touch through virtual meetings with our community on current public safety matters. We look forward to bringing back events to include Coffee with a Cop, National Night Out, and a special planned Open House Event at our Police Department!

Gang Awareness Class

There has been an increase in violence nationally over the past year. With schools and many community programs shut down during the pandemic, the San Pablo Police Department wanted to ensure families still had resources and information to help them keep their children safe. Subsequently our POP Unit delivered an informational virtual Gang Awareness class to our community in Spanish and English. Nearly 30 participants shared perspective and were able to ask our experts questions on how to recognize unhealthy adolescent behavior related to gang activity.
