Besides fighting crime, the Pacifica Police Department seeks to ensure the general safety of the citizens it serves. Public education regarding specific and proven measures for safety in a variety of situations is an ongoing effort as the department provides instructional outreach at schools, to organized community groups and at public events, such as Pacifica's annual Fog Festival.
Call the main business line with any questions or concerns regarding general safety and ask for the crime prevention officer. The lobby of the police station also contains a literature rack with helpful brochures on a variety of safety issues.
