The San Jacinto Police Department is the oldest municipal law enforcement agency in Riverside County. From its humble beginnings in the late 1800's, with only one City Marshal, to its current strength of over thirty-five employees, the department is rich in history. The city has grown over the years and so have we.
Major highways link the city to Southern California's recreational, cultural, and shopping areas.
In recent years, San Jacinto's favorable location, mild climate and exceptional land values have attracted new residents to the city and the surrounding San Jacinto Valley in increasing numbers. As a result of new housing construction and annexations, San Jacinto's population is expected to reach 80,000 to 100,000 by the year 2010. Along with growth comes change. It is our sincere desire to be responsive to the needs of our community during these changing times.
