The Fillmore Police Department invites all members of the public to join us in a community centered event and enjoy a cup of iced coffee or iced tea with local members of public safety. This event is geared towards meeting your local police and fire department members with an emphasis on fireworks safety, with the Fourth of July around the corner.
Special appearances by Fillmore City Fire Department, Ventura County Fire Department, Sheriff’s Bomb Squad, Sheriff’s K9, Sheriff’s S.W.A.T members, and local supporters Starbucks Coffee and Roan Mills Bakery. Join us, enjoy a treat and get your public safety questions answered.
We encourage you to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday responsibly and with consideration for the safety of all members of the public and their respective property. With the anticipated increase of the city’s population during the festivities, in addition to the inherent dangers associated with illegal fireworks, the Fillmore Police Department will have extra patrol deputies on patrol throughout the city of the Fillmore over the holiday weekend.
The Fillmore Police Department wants to remind the citizens of the following information pertaining to illegal fireworks and the fines associated with these crimes:
- “Safe and Sane” fireworks, bearing the seal of the State Fire Marshal, can be legally sold, possessed, and enjoyed in the city of Fillmore between 12:00 PM, June 28th, and 12:00 PM, July 5th.
- Violators may be cited for violating city municipal codes and are subject to a $1000.00 fine, for possessing illegal fireworks or may be arrested for more serious offenses. If you witness any illegal firework activity, please call the Sheriff’s Communication Center at (805) 654-9511 or, if there’s an immediate threat to life or property, 9-1-1.
The Fillmore Police Department encourages citizens to immediately report suspicious activity, illegal fireworks, and crimes they come across by calling our dispatch center or 9-1-1 for emergencies. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank members of the public for their on-going support and due diligence in providing information to assist our agency. We are better at what we do because of our community partnerships.
