Full Notification

To protect the health of the public and our personnel, and potentially slow the rate of transmission of COVID-19, we are limiting access to the Arcadia Police Department lobby daily from 9:00AM to 6:00PM.  This practice will begin Tuesday, March 17, 2020 and will be reassessed as circumstances change to determine whether or not a change in protocol or full lobby closure is warranted.

Individuals who need services from the Police Department's Records Section or have other business are encouraged to call beforehand to schedule an appoinment. 

Please call our Records Section at:  (626) 574-5151.

As mentioned earlier, if you request a call for service to report criminal activity or to file a report, please call our Police Dispatch Center at 626-574-5123.  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 their arrival.

Some police reports can also be made online at    https://report.citizenserviceportal.com/home/Agency?AgencyCode=APD
and we encourage our residents to take advantage of this service whenever possible.

Here are some of the criteria for filing a police report online:

• The incident is not an Emergency.
• The incident occurred within the City of Arcadia.
• You do not know the name or identity of the suspect involved or have physical evidence associated with the incident.

Cases involving theft of identity, theft or unauthorized use of credit/debit cards, checks, or other financial crimes, may not be reported on-line. These crimes must be reported in person. It is essential for officers to verify the victim’s true identity at the time the report is made.

Additionally, victims should provide officers with as much information regarding their case as possible, to include copies of financial documents, bank statements, credit card account information, fraud affidavits, or any other information relevant to the crime. If your situation does meet the above requirements, you may file your report online for the following types of incidents:

• Auto Burglary
• General Thefts valued at $950 or less
• 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
• Lost or Stolen Cell Phones or Other Property
• Annoying or Harassing Phone Calls
• Mail Theft
• Vandalism
• Vehicle Tampering

We apologize for any inconvenience these adjustments may cause you under the circumstances.  Please know that the men and women of the Arcadia Police Department 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. In closing, we ask that you help us protect our police officers and support personnel, so they, in turn, can continue to work hard to protect you!
