Our Mission

The mission of the Code Compliance Division of the Dixon Police Department is to educate the public on City Codes.  With the cooperation of property owners we can reduce the number of abandoned and inoperative vehicles, unsightly accumulation of debris, junk and other defined nuisances.  By enforcing the City’s Municipal Codes; property values will rise, quality of life will increase, neighborhoods will become more beautiful, and the City will be a safer place to live.
