Nevada City Police Department

The dedicated men and women of NCPD have a long history of bringing people together and working out solutions to keep our community a safe and friendly place to live, work and visit. Within the two-square miles of Nevada City, you will often see our officers patrolling our streets and parks on foot, in vehicles, or riding bicycles, making one-to-one contacts with residents and visitors to our community.

The Department provides patrol, investigations, crime prevention, traffic enforcement, parking enforcement, drug education and other public safety services and is staffed by a Police Chief, Lieutenant, two (2) Sergeants, six (6) Police officers, two (2) Community Service officers, one (1) Civilian clerk, and five (5) Reserve officers. We operate out of City Hall mid-block on Broad Street and welcome walk-ins during business hours (Monday-Thursday) between 8am to 12pm and 1pm to 5pm to discuss local issues, trends, report an incident or just to stop by.
