MESSAGE From THE Chief

Chief of Police Sergio Gutierrez

Welcome to the Winters Police Department website. It is my honor and privilege to be your newest Police Chief. Now that the Public Safety Facility is finally finished we may begin this new season with the ability to serve this fine community and its citizens within a functional police building to conduct business more effectively.

On behalf of the Winters Police Department, "Thank you City of Winters!"

Our greatest commitment is to help this community be a safe place with a proactive policing style, but we will always need your help in crime prevention. We need you to be our extra eyes and ears to report crimes occurring or unsafe activity. So, please take the time to secure your property, know your environment and neighborhood, and report suspicious activities as soon as possible. These simple, yet important tips, will help reduce criminal opportunities by taking a personal proactive approach on your part. Working together, we can continue to make Winters a great place to live and visit.

I am very proud of the men and women in our department. We strive to provide an excellent level of police service.

Our goal is to be progressive in policing with a commitment to protection and service to our community. We hope our department's website will keep you informed of current trends in crimes, crime prevention tips, other available law enforcement resources and necessary information that may be helpful and educational.

If you are not able to find the information that you are looking for, please call us at (530) 795-2261 or stop by our new building at 702 Main Street.

Chief of Police
