If you've been following the city's preservation efforts recently, you might know that San Gabriel passed a new preservation ordinance last year that protects and preserves the city's historic past. With the new ordinance, San Gabriel now has a modern framework to protect the city's cultural, architectural, social, historical, economic and political heritage.

Addressing mid-major crimes in San Gabriel
|
|
|
SGPD to expand resources and outreach to address mid-major crimes
|
|
With the City Council's decision to end the San Gabriel Police Department's agreement with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the SGPD will now dedicate more resources to address mid-major crimes.
Since the HSI agreement was just one of many tools the department used, the dissolution of the agreement means that the SGPD will rely on other agreements and partnerships to help boost the department's resources.
