SERVING SANTA FE SPRINGS

In 1995 the city of Whittier signed a historical police services contract with its neighboring city, Santa Fe Springs. The Whittier Police Department was contracted to provide all law enforcement services to the resident and business community of Santa Fe Springs.

The Whittier Police Department established a Santa Fe Springs patrol division consisting of 28 officers. Also established was a Santa Fe Springs detective bureau, traffic bureau, Problem Oriented Policing Team, a High Risk Warrant Entry Team and a Special Occurrence Response Team (SORT).

Officers get involved in community activities daily. From teaching classes in elementary schools and holding business security seminars, to bicycle patrol of parks and shopping centers, the Whittier Police Department built public confidence and improved the relationship between residents and the police. When the community feels good about their police department, they are more likely to report problems.

The Whittier Police Department improved response time to both emergency calls as well as routine report calls. A team of Public Safety Officers (PSOs) help patrol officers with daily tasks such as report taking, traffic control and contact with he community.

The Police Services Center building serves as the Whittier Police "Sub Station" in Santa Fe Springs. It is staffed by city personnel, PSOs and houses the detective bureau and problem oriented policing team. The Staging Facility which is also located in Santa Fe Springs, houses the patrol division.
