It is the mission of the Sonora Police Department to provide the highest most dedicated level of
service to our community. Protecting citizens and their property is our main function and goal. We
have chosen if unavoidable to place ourselves in harms way to protect you and your family. We strive to stop crime
before it happens by having a proactive approach. We stand behind our commitments to provide the utmost service to
our community. This level of service shall be accomplished through honesty, integrity, and excellence.
The Sonora Police Department has 5 sworn Officers and 2 civilian employees. Sonora, a city of 3,000 population is one of the safest cities in our nation. We are convinced that one reason
for our low crime rate is due to our pro-active approach to crime.
The Sonora Police Department is committed to the concept of Community Oriented Policing because we srongly believe that a partnership between the community and the police is the only
way to make our community a safe place to live and raise a family. In order to protect and serve the community, the department stresses proactive law enforcement to indentify potential problems and use
preventive measures before a problem can reach crisis proportions. The department uses such methods as around the clock patrol, surveillance and traffic enforcement to achieve this proactive
approach to law enforcement. In 1997, the Department purchased a computer program called Xpediter Patrol. Impact Solutions Corporation makes this software in California. This program is one of
the best available for a small department, such as ours. Xpediter allows the Officers to streamline productivity through information automation, and improves their effectiveness through accurate and
timely reporting.
The Sonora Police Department has several different areas within itself--administration, patrol, criminal investigation, D.A.R.E., K-9, and animal control. All working together to ensure the
safety of lives and property within the City. The department also is involved in the community in other ways, including the following:
providing guest speaking for civic groups and local businesses upon request
fingerprinting of children upon parental request
performing charitable work such as providing assistance to the Sutton County Child Welfare's "Angel Tree Project". Project Graduation, Health Fair, 4-H shooting sports, Boy Scouts,
Explorer Post, Project clean up Sonora, Relay for Life and more.
Hosting training to the area law enforcement agencies.
