Welcome to the official website of the Placerville Police Department.

It is my honor and privilege to serve as your Chief of Police and to lead the dedicated
men and women of the Placerville Police Department. Our department is committed to
providing professional, responsive, and compassionate law enforcement services while
working together with our community to keep Placerville a safe and welcoming place to

We recognize that effective policing is built on trust, communication, and partnership.
Our officers and professional staff are committed to treating every person with dignity

Public safety is a shared responsibility. We value the relationships we have built with our
residents, businesses, schools, community organizations, and neighboring public safety
agencies. By working together, we can address the challenges facing our community,
prevent crime, and improve the quality of life for everyone who calls Placerville home.

Thank you for the trust you place in the Placerville Police Department and for the

protect with courage, and work every day to make Placerville a safer and better place
for everyone. We are proud partners with the community!
