Monterey Police

Stolen in Louisiana and recovered in Monterey. This afternoon one of our ALPR cameras alerted to a stolen vehicle on N. Fremont Street and our officers quickly apprehended the driver. Embracing modern technology is just one way we strive to provide exceptional service.

If you need sandbags, we have a fill station at the Fire Department, 600 Pacific Street. And if Officer Chad Ventimiglia happens to be there, expect a helping hand!

Today we recognize the leaders who helped shape our nation—and we’re reminded that public service is a responsibility worth honoring.
