Home MenuCommunity Policing and Immigration: A Guide to GPD's Policies
The Glendale Police Department (GPD) is a municipal law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing state and local criminal laws within the City of Glendale. The Department’s sworn personnel and professional staff are dedicated to safeguarding the City’s residents, visitors, and workforce through community policing, problem-solving partnerships, and a commitment to transparency and constitutional policing.
GPD is not responsible for enforcing federal civil immigration laws. Immigration enforcement is the responsibility of the federal government. While GPD officers may arrest individuals wanted for criminal violations of federal law, including criminal immigration offenses, the Department does not engage in immigration actions unrelated to criminal investigations.
