Effective immediately, the Gilroy Police Department will be implementing protective measures for police services within the City of Gilroy to help limit the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus. To ensure the Gilroy Police Department is able to provide and maintain a consistent level of quality service throughout this pandemic, we will be taking steps to ensure the safety and protection of our staff.

The Gilroy Police Department is temporarily requiring officers to reduce their in-person responses whenever possible. Non-emergency calls for service will be handled via telephone or referred to our online reporting system. For all non-emergency calls an officer will contact the citizen via telephone. For all calls requiring an emergency response, our officers will follow standard response procedures.

In addition, we have also restricted access to our front lobby. Anyone coming to the Gilroy Police Department to make a report, obtain a vehicle release, etc., will need to use their cellular phone or the outside callbox next to the front lobby doors. Please call the front desk at (408) 846-0300.

For emergencies, continue to use 9-1-1.  For non-emergencies, please call (408) 846-0350.
