Watch: “Up Front with SBPD” Alternative Call Response

How does law enforcement respond to community calls for service, when staffing is down nearly 30 percent? Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian says keeping this community safe and responding to your home or business as conditions require, remains the top priority. While the current circumstances we face made modifications necessary, the department’s commitment to the community ensures that you will not see a drop off in service and you will not see a drop off in police response or care.
