Police Programs

The Capitola Police Department is committed to enhancing public safety through various Crime Prevention initiatives, proactive enforcement, public education and our various Community Policing programs.

The Police Department has expanded programs and initiatives, which are part of its Community Oriented Policing & Problem Solving model, its Reserve Program and the Department’s Volunteers in Policing Program (VIP). Each of these programs supplements public safety services to the community at a time when the challenges to local law enforcement agencies are at an all time high and funding has been critically impacted.
