The Public Safety Department provides an array of safety and security related services in the City of Rosemead. Rosemead's Chief of Police (Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lieutenant) manages all public safety services including law enforcement services with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and LA County Probation Department and fire services with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Public Safety also partners with a number of community organizations to help residents address various issues. The Department also provides animal control.
Deputies assigned to the Rosemead Team work directly out of the Rosemead Public Safety Center, providing community oriented policing, Gang Alternative Prevention Programs and school crime suppression. Rather than having to go to the Sheriff's Temple Station, residents can visit the center to discuss law enforcement concerns and obtain dog licenses.
The Public Safety Department coordinates numerous crime prevention, emergency preparedness, and public awareness programs, including Neighborhood Watch (PDF), Crime Alert via e-mail and text messages, monthly Community Safety meetings, and Public Safety CONNECTIONS Forum.
