On behalf of the men and women of the Whittier Police Department, I would like to welcome you to our website.

Since 1917, the Whittier Police Department has been providing outstanding law enforcement services to our community. Our motto “Quality People – Quality Service” is rooted in a long history of hiring the best candidates who provide the best service to those who live, work, and visit Whittier and Santa Fe Springs.

The police cannot be effective without a strong and productive relationship with members of the community. Keeping Whittier and Santa Fe Springs safe, requires an ongoing partnership where residents and police officers work together to identify and solve community problems. Sharing information and keeping an ongoing dialogue with those we serve is crucial to our continued success. I encourage you to join your local Nextdoor.com virtual neighborhood where our department provides regular crime prevention information and important safety updates.

It is my pleasure to serve as your Chief of Police and I am extremely proud to lead an amazing group of dedicated employees who make up our Whittier Police family. I am always available to listen to your concerns as we are constantly striving to improve. Feel free to email me at abar@cityofwhittier.org or call 562-567-9200.

Aviv Bar
Chief of Police
