POLICE EMERGENCY NUMBERS
Call: 363-4911
You can also call regular 911 from a landline phone, but if you call 911 from a cell phone you will get routed to the Sacramento CHP offices and there will likely be a delay in getting through to local police or emergency services. The 363-4911 phone number is the number for the dispatch of the San Mateo County law enforcement unit that responds to problems in Palomar Park. Calling that number directly gets you straight to them - avoiding the step of going first through the state CHP.
POLICE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBERS
For non emergency questions for to report any suspicious activity/vehicles etc. in Palomar Park you should call the same local dispatch number: 363-4911
Our primary contact for Palomar Park is Deputy Jerry Justice. Deputy Justice used to help out with the Palomar Park volunteer fire department, and knows Palomar Park well. You may also call him directly at the number for his desk: 599-1640. He urges us all to contact him or dispatch if we have ANY concerns about anything in Palomar Park that may be at all out of the ordinary. His advice to us is to call without hesitation and let him and law enforcement decide what actions to take. In the past even simple calls about cars driving at odd hours or lurking in driveways - seemingly trivial occurrences - has led to apprehension of criminals who have been victimizing local neighborhoods.
