Alan Sanvictores, Chief of Police
Thank you for your interest in a career with the Monrovia Police Department. We need men and women of the highest caliber to continue to provide the high quality of service the citizens of this city expect and deserve.
The law enforcement profession is constantly changing. New technologies are being implemented to help us do our job more efficiently and effectively. We need intelligent, highly motivated people that can utilize these new technologies and continually adapt to these changes to improve our service to the community.
The Monrovia Police Department has been at the forefront of community policing practices for over 25 years. During that time, we have won several international and state community policing awards for our innovative programs. Since 1995, we have seen a 470% decrease in violent crime and a 220% decrease in property crime. These impacts on crime have come from a collaborative effort by police staff, city staff and community members.
