Link to Community Policing The San Leandro Police Department takes great pride in the service it provides the community. Our philosophy is to treat the members of our community as customers. While many law enforcement agencies look for ways to cut services to the public, the San Leandro Police Department recognizes the importance of a partnership between the Department and the community. Community outreach is accomplished through the Bicycle Patrol, the Tactical Unit, and the Officer in the Mall. The Department sponsors the Neighborhood Watch Program, the D.A.R.E. Program, the Police Cadet Program, the Police Reserve Program, the Citizen Police Academy, Sober Graduation, Grad Night at the High School and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.
