Department policies

The Santa Ana Police Department has numerous policies that guide its employees in their duties enhancing safety in our community. Policies are based on policing best practices, current legal standards and community safety needs. The department strives to achieve the upmost transparency in providing public safety services to the community. Department policies ensure that the community has the opportunity to be well informed and that our police officers receive the most up to date guidance available in policing. We believe placing these policies in a location easily accessible to the community helps broaden communication and increase community trust.

The Santa Ana Police Department maintains transparency with the public by posting all policies, procedures, and training materials on this website. The links below will allow you to access to current policies, procedures, and training materials by the Police Department.
