A Message from the Chief

Chief Strange

Chief Robert Strange

On behalf of the dedicated men and women of the West Sacramento Police Department, please know that we appreciate the partnership and support we receive from you. We work hard to be the Police Department our community wants and deserves, and to intentionally invest in work that connects us better with you. We stay mindful that we must deliver our services to all in the community in a professional and procedurally just manner typified by demonstrated integrity and diligence.

It is our hope that our webpage contents sufficiently inform you about the impact of crime in the city and the corresponding work undertaken to address it, while also providing a broad look at measures related to advancing oversight and the efforts being made to grow our relationship with all communities within our city.

We are honored to serve you and are excited to see what we can accomplish together as we work to make West Sacramento all that it can be.

Chief's Advisory Board

As part of the effort to infuse broader community perspective and voice into the evolution of the West Sacramento Police Department and local policing, Chief Strange created a Police Chief’s Community Advisory Board. The Board functions as a sounding board for the Police Chief regarding community needs and concerns; as well as provides community feedback about proposed police programs and priorities. The Board assists the department in connecting with community members, particularly persons or communities who may be reluctant to approach the department on their own, to better understand the needs of the community and how the West Sacramento Police Department can support meeting those needs.
