Committed to Providing Proactive, Professional and Courteous Law Enforcement Services to Our Community

Welcome to the Hanford Police Department! We are committed to your safety and peace of mind. Whether you live in Hanford or are visiting from other communities, we will do all that is possible to keep you safe. The goal of the Hanford Police Department is to reduce the impact of crime and the fear it causes to victims of those crimes. We further support a policing philosophy that promotes and supports organizational strategies to address the causes of crime and social disorder through problem solving tactics and community/police partnerships.

In 2022, the Hanford Police Department launched the Citizen RIMS program, an interactive tool that allows the public to access incidents, crime data, arrests, missing persons, stolen vehicles and more. The overall goal is to increase transparency and provide more information about crime issues and critical incidents in the City.
