Since becoming the Police Chief for the City of Orange Cove, I have had the honor and privilege to lead a department that is small in size. Though small in size, the department has a group of very dedicated and professional officers. It also has a small staff and volunteers that work hard to keep crime down and maintain a high quality of life for citizens that live or visit here. We have done this by developing and maintaining a partnerships with the schools, various organizations and citizens. We are proud of our department and will work hard to maintain the trust and confidence the citizens have given us.

We encourage you to contact us and voice any concerns and comments on how we can continually improve our level of service.

– Javier Peña, Chief of Police
