The Richmond Police Department has undergone rapid growth and evolution over the past several years. Concurrently, we have and will continue to adopt, tailor and perfect the best practices in the field in order to maintain a balanced fusion of effective policing methodologies that support and enhance our crime reduction and crime prevention goals.

Our three-district, geographic policing model emphasizes beat ownership, collaboration and partnerships. It is rooted in community policing philosophy and requires teamwork, cooperation, community engagement and analytic problem-solving in order to achieve the best results. Accurate and timely crime data and the Comp-Stat process are important tools to help our police managers account for the proportional use of resources in order to address crime and disorder problems intelligently. Technology also figures prominently in our delivery police services. Our Computer Aided Dispatch system, known as “CAD” allows for precise call tracking and transmission. It is coupled with a Records Management System and the integration of Crimeview® crime data tracking and mapping software.

PLEASE DO NOT REPORT EMERGENCIES ON THIS SITE. IF YOU NEED HELP, CONTACT 911 or (510) 233-1214 #0.

Richmond's geography stretches across 56 square miles of West Contra Costa County, including 32 miles of shoreline along San Francisco Bay. Our department serves a diverse community of more than 103,000 residents, and includes numerous residential neighborhoods, an active port, significant industrial and technology resources, major retail and business centers, and several thousand acres of park land.
