The City of Oxnard Police Department is working with the community to educate people reference reporting crime or reporting being a victim of a crime. While being hesitant to report a crime is understandable, it is essential for the police to be advised when crimes occur to be better able to protect the public.
- Spanish translators are available for Spanish speaking persons who call to report a crime. Call 911 or (805) 385-7740 from a cell phone. Tell the dispatcher you speak Spanish and need a translator. As soon as the translator answers the line, you can report the crime;
- It’s okay to be anonymous. If you would like to remain anonymous, let the dispatcher know! You do not have to give your name and address; and
- If you are a victim of a crime, your immigration status does not matter. The police department does not discriminate on the basis of immigration status.
