To Our Santa Monica Community:

We understand that reports of ICE activity in Santa Monica create fear and uncertainty for many in our community. We want to be clear and direct: the Santa Monica Police Department does not participate in immigration enforcement.

Our role is to protect the safety and well-being of everyone who lives, works, or visits Santa Monica — regardless of immigration status. Our officers do not ask about immigration status during interactions with the public.

Our commitment is to ensure that everyone feels safe reaching out to us for help, reporting a crime, or asking for support — without fear.

📍 If you need assistance or have concerns, we’re here:
📞 Emergency: 911
📞 Non-Emergency: 310-458-8491
