Camarillo, CA – We are pleased to announce that the City of Camarillo has been ranked the #17 safest city in California according to SafeWise.com. View the complete list of rankings at tiny.cc/safewise.

The City of Camarillo has contracted for police services with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office since its incorporation in 1964. For over 50 years, the Camarillo Police Department has provided the highest degree of ethical and professional service to the Camarillo community, with the core mission being to safeguard lives and protect property.

Community Enrichment is a goal of the Camarillo City Council, both for the current Fiscal Year 21/22 and as part of the upcoming goals for Fiscal Year 22/23. One of the objectives of this goal is to enhance community safety through continued emphasis on support of law enforcement and expanded public awareness and educational programs. 

“Our deputies are passionate about getting to know Camarillo residents through community events and during routine patrols,” shared Commander Eric Tennessen who serves as Camarillo’s Chief of Police. “Building relationships this way allows us to update citizens on crime trends and to provide tips for preventing crime. For those who would choose to come to Camarillo to commit crimes, Camarillo Police Department’s deputies are relentless in identifying, pursuing and holding them accountable. That is what continues to keep Camarillo as one of the safest cities in the state.”
