San Gabriel Police Department

Quick response not like the cops in movies where they arrive after everything has be resolved! =o). Very polite officers! Thank you!

Very very grateful for the efforts San Gabriel Police Department made through the Community Academy to help us civilians know more about the law enforcement. Every lesson is very well-prepared! I'm just always so eager to participate each activity they put together. Being a police officer or a 911 dispatcher is no easy job at all. Many people might in their emotional state to not comply what a police officer commands. I really encourage everyone to get to know the law enforcement system more, talk to police officers, do some hands-on scenarios, and you will know, how stressful this job could be.

From what I see, this department has done more to reach out to the community than any other municipal police department in the area. Their free citizen police academy is very eye-opening and educational, and they’ve done so much to reach out to the immigrant and mandarin-speaking community as well (thanks to the efforts of reserve officers Richard and Jack). This class goes above and beyond in my opinion, giving you hands on experience in various training scenarios like building searches, traffic stops, and firearms training.

I feel a billion times more confident in SGPD after this program and much more appreciative of what they do. I highly recommend you go through the academy if you live in San Gabriel or seeing if your local police department has a similar opportunity.
