The City of Fortuna historically, has enjoyed a California Crime Index, which is about one half of what the state average tends to be. This means that there is less major crime in Fortuna.

    Certainly, credit goes to our professional and dedicated police staff (of which I am proud), but also to the "sense of community" constantly displayed by our Fortuna Citizens. Our citizens recognize what a wonderful community they have in Fortuna and as such take responsibility to maintain our enviable quality of life. People watch out for one another and will not hesitate to report suspicious activity to the police. Additionally, we have many volunteers who donate their talents to a variety of Community/Police Volunteer Programs. Public safety is everyone's responsibility. Working together we are making a difference in Fortuna.

    Hopefully, our web site will provide you an opportunity to learn a little more about our Police Department and our community. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like more information.
