The Kerman Police Department

Visit Kerman PD's Website!

 

We at Kerman Police Department are committed to making our department the most progressive and professional law enforcement agency in the central San Joaquin Valley.

 

We have formed our own gang and drug investigations units and are aggressively pursuing those issues. We have one BMW motorcycle for traffic enforcement. We have been persistent in our Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) and our partnership with the community is paying dividends.

 

We are very proud of our city's appearance and low crime rate.  We feel that Kerman Police Department has a lot to do with the City of Kerman's appeal. Kerman is a family oriented community, with many of our officers living here and very much involved within the community.

 

I hope that you will enjoy our web page and find it informative

Animal Control & Vehicle Abatement

Animal Control


Bike Patrol

Cycling at the speed of justice is the Kerman Bike Patrol. They cover asphalt in the city day and night, weaving in and out of where police vehicles dare not go. Make sure to wave hello to the Bike Patrol during a football game or the Harvest Festival. The Bike Patrol is under the direction of Corporal Jeff Davis.


Crime Free Multi Family Housing

Apartment managers can look forward to consistent contact with Corporal Will Barcoma. His job is to work with landlords on evicting unscrupulous tenants who are breaking the law. The CFMFH is part of a nationwide program.


Special Investigations Division

Nine officers serve on the Gang and Drug Task Force. Their names and faces are kept confidential so that they can go undercover and monitor illegal activity. The information gathered undercover can positively impact the investigation of Kerman’s most wanted. The Task Force is under the supervision of Sergeant T. Cubillos and Sergeant R. Madruga.


Explorers Program

Administered through The Boy Scouts program, the Explorers are able to experience law enforcement first hand. Young men and women ages 13—21 wear uniforms, ride along with sworn peace officers and assist the officers in completing paperwork. Interested parties may contact CSO Don Ramirez at 846-6634 or download the application on-line.

Explorer’s Program


Kerman Citizen's on Patrol (COPs)

Volunteers are invaluable, especially when they help augment the Kerman Police Force. Volunteers wear a COP’s uniform and act as the eyes and ears for the Kerman Police Department. Residents can contact Officer J. Belding at 846-6633 to inquire about the COPs program.
