Community

The Placerville Police Department is working with all of our community partners as we deal with COVID-19. To help limit the exposure to our community, our personnel and our families, we are implementing certain measures.



Effective immediately, our response to non-emergency calls will be modified on a case by case basis. Dispatchers will be obtaining information related to the call and if it warrants an officers appearance, one will be dispatched. If the details of the call reveal that an officer can appropriately handle the incident via a telephone call, the dispatcher will advise the reporting party and an officer will make contact over the phone.



Officers may limit their distance to 6 feet and may have protective masks on during contact with the community. They may request to speak to community members in open air and to have someone step outside of their residence.



Placerville Police Officers will be increasing patrols in our business districts to prevent crimes of opportunity on any vacant businesses. We are fully staffed and deploying our officers at maximum levels.



We appreciate your assistance and patience as we move forward in the next few months. Our officers are just as much a part of this community as all of you. Let's keep them healthy so they can keep you safe. #COVID19 #Corona2020 #Healthycommunity #PlacervillePD #washyourhands
