Chief of Police

I am truly honored and humbled to serve this amazing community as its Chief of Police, and to represent the incredible people of the San Bruno Police Department.

At SBPD, we believe that our ultimate purpose is to help create an environment in which all people live in peace, free from violence, safe from harm, secure in their effects, and confident that appropriate help will be there when they need it most.  We know that the peace, safety, and security that we provide is essential for people to pursue the best possible versions of themselves in life, and we are committed to providing it.  We achieve this through our tireless commitment to courage, service, community partnership, innovation, fairness, and professionalism. I am extremely proud of the heroic and dedicated manner in which the people of this department serve this great City each and every day.

The intention of this website is to provide you with a high level of transparency regarding police activities and access to important tools for interacting with your Police Department. I also encourage you to follow us on Facebook, Nextdoor, Twitter, and Instagram so that you get the most current information and notifications automatically.

Thank you for your trust and confidence, we will continue to earn it one call at a time.
