Spotlight on the great work and collaboration between the Pasadena Police Department and city departments to keep Pasadena thriving.
The Pasadena Police Department’s Quality of Life (QOL), Community Improvement, and Code Enforcement Division, with the assistance of other city leaders, has teamed up to focus on some problem areas throughout Pasadena. The relationships and partnerships among these departments are vital to the city’s continued growth and success.
Across the nation, we face issues of how to deal with the effects of drug addiction and those struggling with mental health issues and homelessness. As Pasadena grows, it is vital to maintain the city’s aesthetic, health, cleanliness, and safety. The Pasadena Police Department must uphold the law while providing compassionate support and resources to assist individuals in transitioning off the street and into housing or the appropriate county service.
We want to thank our partners at the Harris Center for Mental Health and Intellectual Developmental Disabilities, who play a vital role in helping us immediately evaluate individuals at the time of contact with an officer. Their support allows us to provide prompt and appropriate assistance to those facing mental illness or homelessness. Another wonderful organization the Pasadena QOL has outsourced during their homelessness encounters and would also like to thank is Families to Freedom. This organization assists Domestic Violence survivors with reaching loved ones outside the city or state.
We are proud of Sergeant M. Hibbs, Officer W. Jones, Officer R. Childers, and Officer C. Cook’s efforts. Their hard work makes an impact and strengthens the department’s outreach and presence in the community, driving positive change in Pasadena.
