CHIEF GUTIERREZ
It is truly an honor to serve this community as your Chief of Police. I am grateful for the trust you place in our department, and I am mindful every day of the responsibility that comes with it.
I am especially proud of the men and women of the Menifee Police Department. I have the privilege of working alongside them each day, and I see firsthand their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to this community. Together, we are focused on serving our residents and working in partnership with you to help keep Menifee safe.
Our commitment is to provide premier service in every interaction. That service is rooted in professionalism and respect, values that guide how we do our work and how we connect with the people we serve. We understand that each contact matters, and we strive to reflect the level of service our community expects and deserves.
We are fortunate to serve a community that consistently shows strong support for its police department. That support means a great deal to all of us. At the same time, we recognize that public safety is a shared effort. It takes strong collaboration, open communication, and mutual trust between the department and the community to truly be successful.
That partnership is something we value deeply and continue to build every day.
I also want to personally welcome you to our website. We hope it serves as a helpful and informative resource, one that gives you a better understanding of our department, the services we provide, and the work we do on your behalf. Whether you are looking for information, resources, or ways to connect with us, we hope you find it useful.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. It is a privilege to serve you.
Respectfully,
Dave Gutierrez
Chief of Police
