Community Policing

The Dixon Police Department has embraced a policing philosophy designed to promote quality of life within our community by working to find long-term solutions to problems. To assist in community policing, the Dixon Police Department has implemented Sub-Beats within the city of Dixon. A Patrol Officer is assigned to each Sub-Beat and are responsible for building relationships, solving problems and developing working partnerships with residents and business owners. Patrol officers serve as the City’s “eyes and ears” in their geographic beats and report problems that require responses from public works and other City departments. See which officers are responsible for your neighborhood with our Sub-Beat Officer Directory.
