Adapting to the COVID-19 coronavirus 
Adapting to the COVID-19 coronavirus
Like much of the state, the San Dimas Sheriff’s Station is adapting to the challenges caused by COVID-19. To this end, please know we have NOT curtailed our deployment and will continue to respond to ALL law enforcement related activities in our area of operation. This crisis is fluid and evolving, and the Sheriff’s department is adapting in real time and working in a unified effort to maintain the field staffing levels. We want to be clear our communities are the priority and we will carry on our public safety mission.
We have begun the process of preparing this station for various scenarios by equipping our staff with protective gear and keeping them informed. Our staff has been fully briefed on the COVID-19 issues and will take all due precautions when dealing with the public. We will continue to respond to all calls, and will assess the deployment posture on a day to day basis.
It is our mission and goal to continue to provide the highest level of service and public safety while preserving the health of our communities. Based on logical precautions we have modified some procedures to limit exposure of the public and our employees by limiting unnecessary public contact. For example, for limited non-emergency crime reporting we may accept and document some crime reports via telephone rather than in person. While our station lobby will remain open for limited purposes, we encourage residents to call ahead at (909)450-2700 to determine if we can serve your needs without requiring a visit.
To protect the health of the public and our personnel, and slow the rate of transmission of COVID-19, we are limiting the access to the San Dimas Sheriff’s Station lobby except in mandatory or emergent situations, for at least the remainder of the month of March.
Lobby restrictions do not apply to:
- Regularly scheduled child-custody exchanges
- Individuals who are required by law to check in with law enforcement for compliance to terms of release.
- Situations in which a law enforcement presence is needed to immediately protect life, safety or property.
- Mandatory visits for payment of fees or collection of property.
If you request a call for service to report criminal activity, to file a report, to obtain a copy of a report, or have questions of a law enforcement nature, please call our station at (909)450-2700; Call 9-1-1 for emergencies. If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, fever or a respiratory illness, please notify us when you make the call. This will allow our first responders to take any needed safety precautions prior to our arrival.
Limited police reports can be made online at http://shq.lasdnews.net/shq/SORTS/sorts_intro.aspx and we encourage our residents to take advantage of this service if applicable.
The following reports can be made with our online service:
• Lost or stolen cell phones valued at $950 or less
• Lost or stolen property valued at $950 or less
• Vandalism, excluding graffiti, where damage is valued under $400
• Theft of items from an unlocked vehicle valued at $950 or less
• Theft of items from an open or unsecured area valued at $950 or less
• Supplemental Loss Form to document items taken in a burglary or similar theft (Must already have a LASD report number)
While we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, your deputy Sheriffs at San Dimas Sheriff’s Station are committed to the safety and well-being of our citizens, and dedicated to maintaining the superior service everyone has come to expect from our personnel. Help us protect our deputies, so that they can protect you!
