WHO WE ARE
The success of our community comes from the mutual respect and collaboration between the Petaluma Police Department and those we serve – our residents, businesses, schools, churches, community organizations and our social services partners.
In response to the current needs of our pluralistic society, a group of concerned community members formed a non-profit organization called the Petaluma Policing Foundation. The group wanted to help support the proactive community centered policing philosophy of the Petaluma Police Department by improving the quality of life in Petaluma by providing complimentary public education programs and safety services.
