Police Department
Welcome from Steven Annibali, Chief of Police
The members of the Arroyo Grande Police Department welcome you to our web site. We hope you find it interesting as well as informative.The Arroyo Grande Police Department's approach to our community can easily be described as being built upon the philosophy of "Community Oriented Policing." This policing philosophy means that we strive to include all elements of our community in programs, decisions and methods which bring about the best in public safety. It supports a strong sense of community and it actively encourages cooperative efforts which incorporate the needs of all. The Community Oriented Policing approach means that we not only identify problems but, we then partner with the numerous community groups and resources which can eliminate or reduce problem issues. Today's reality is that the police cannot do it alone. We need, and enjoy, being partners with our community.
Further, this approach is only successful when it is embraced by all members of the department as individuals. Each member strives to create positive relationships, resolve issues and "be in service to others." Within the success of each individual member lies the success of our police department. Finally, as a consequence of these community partnerships as well as individual efforts, crime is low,quality of life is outstanding and small issues are resolved before they become a significant community problem. And, most important to the members of the Arroyo Grande Police Department, is that trust is strongly rooted in our community's relationships with us. Simply put . . . our partnerships build the strong community foundation that enhances quality of life for all. We believe that our department's motto: "Ensuring Quality of Life" says it all. Please feel free to call,or visit us, if you have any questions about the many services we offer. Steven Annibali, Chief of PoliceCity of Arroyo Grande (805) 473-5120
