Yorba Linda PD

Policing in the City of Yorba Linda, California, is provided under contract by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, which operates locally as Yorba Linda Police Services and handles patrol, traffic and parking enforcement, collision investigation, general and special crime investigations and crime prevention. A sheriff's captain serves as the city's chief of police services and its public safety department head, acting as the on-site liaison to residents, city staff and elected officials, using crime and traffic data to identify problem areas, attending City Council meetings and taking command of police personnel during local emergencies or disasters. A Crime Prevention Unit offers free programs for residents and businesses, and the Stay Safe OC partnership shares safety guidance. Residents can follow activity through the Sheriff's Blotter, with seven-day and 30-day views drawn from calls-for-service records, along with crime statistics by area and an interactive crime map with custom alerts. Through the sheriff's department, people can request civil process service, report lost property, get Live Scan fingerprints, request report copies and ask about tow hearings. Drug take-back days are held with the DEA, and city records requests fall under the California Public Records Act, Cal. Gov. Code § 7920.000 et seq.
