Full Notification

The men and women of the Los Altos Police Department continue to provide high quality police services to the community during this time. We have made modifications in our service delivery to protect the health and well-being of residents and staff beginning Wednesday, 3/18/20.

These include:
The Los Altos Police Department lobby is closed to all counter traffic to limit staff exposure to COVID-19 (coronavirus). The Records Department is accepting appointments to provide business services such as payments, record checks, vehicle releases, vehicle property releases and prescription/sharps drop-off. If you have any questions please call us at 650-947-2770 or click to make an appointment https://calendly.com/losaltospolicerecords/records-services?month=2020-03.

The Los Altos Police Department will be increasing its social distancing efforts by taking non-emergency reports over the phone. This includes calls in which a crime is not in progress or wouldn’t result in the immediate apprehension of a suspect, such as identity theft, vandalism, or lost property. If you are calling to file a police report, you may be told that an officer will call you back to acquire the necessary information for your report.
