The Fullerton Police Department has a long history of connecting with our community through various outreach programs and styles of policing. We constantly strive to establish and maintain a level of trust and respect within the community, while also providing a safe environment to live, learn, conduct business, and enjoy all the recreational opportunities that Fullerton has to offer. In order to effectively and efficiently utilize our police resources, the City of Fullerton is broken down into three call response areas (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3), and a patrol lieutenant is assigned as the Area Commander for each area.

The Area Commander model establishes a single point of contact for residents in each Zone who wish to voice their concerns including crime, traffic, and quality of life issues such as homelessness, graffiti, apartment complex conditions, and events that damage community health and safety. Area or zone policing provides our residents with direct contact, professional accountability, and streamlined solutions to the problems or perceived crimes issues that they face. By directly communication with residents regarding issues affecting them, Area Commanders are accountable to solving problems in the community and can strategically use police and city resources to positively impact the issue, and thus create positive community engagement and outreach.
