Message from the Chief
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of presenting the Police Department's Annual Report to the City Council. This report is provided to give an overview of the American Canyon Police Department, our accomplishments, and the services provided throughout the year. 2018 was my first full year as your Police Chief and I am proud to work alongside the men and women of this Department. It is our priority to protect the quality of life in American Canyon. “Community Policing” is more than just a buzz term in this community. The residents and businesses here support their police. Together, thanks to the trust and willingness to call us when needed, we are able to fight, prevent, and solve crime. I would like to especially thank you, the members of our Neighborhood Watch, for your diligent efforts and partnership in continuing to help us keep American Canyon safe.

Respectfully,

Oscar Ortiz
American Canyon Police Chief
