Welcome to the Walnut Creek Police
Department On-Line
 The Walnut Creek Police Department is a full-service municipal
police agency for a city of 63,400 people, located in central Contra Costa County, Calif. The
Department has 120 employees; of them, over 2/3 are sworn personnel. The
Department provides patrol services and responds to calls for service based on
geographical areas, called sectors. There are three of them, representing the
southern
(sector 1), northwest
(sector 2), and the eastern (sector 3) parts of the city,
generally dividing along the North Broadway/ Mt. Diablo Blvd. demarcation point.
Each police sector is truly unique in its history,
population, businesses, and in the kind of services we provide to enhance the safety and
quality of life for those who live here.
Officers are assigned to sectors based on personal
preference and seniority. Most have years of experience, are well-acquainted with who lives there, and what the ongoing problems are. For
continuity, patrol shifts are designed so that the same officers are consistently
available at the same time and day each week.
Our intention with this new website is to focus on providing critical
information in a timely manner as to crimes, arrests, and other police
activities, and have all of this be dynamic and responsive to the needs of the
public.
