The Police Community Advisory Board (PCAB) is a link between the Chico community and its police department, working to enhance communication and transparency.

The Chico Police Department strongly embraces the philosophy of Community Policing in all its daily operations and functions. Community Policing makes it possible for the police and the community to share responsibility for identifying, reducing, eliminating and preventing problems that impact community safety and order. By working together, the police and the community can improve the quality of life in neighborhoods citywide.

Chief Aldridge states, “It is my goal to ensure our community has a system in place to provide a voice and participate in many areas of their police department’s operation, which helps to create transparency, trust, and respect for each other.”
