Public Safety

A message from the Chico Police Department:

Chico Police is still actively handling calls for service and responding to crimes in progress. Our communications center is asking the public to disclose any medical conditions when they call for police and fire services so that we can make sure First Responders have the appropriate personal protective equipment and to reduce any potential exposure.

Parklet installations begin!

The City of Chico continues looking for ways for local businesses to adjust to State closures.

The City of Chico is continuing our work helping local businesses adjust and adapt to the state’s closure of indoor dining. New safety barriers were yesterday for the creation of “parklets” - expanding outdoor dining areas for our downtown restaurants.

We’d like to thank both Knife River construction for donating and installing the k-rail barriers, and to Slater & Sons for donating water barriers to help keep diners safe. We’d also like to thank the Downtown Chico Business Association and their partnership with the City to help implement the parklet concept.
