Police

The Cotati Police Department is responsible for the enforcement of local, state, and federal laws, and with providing 24-hour protection of the lives and property of the public. The Police Department functions both as an instrument of public service and as a tool for the distribution of information, guidance, and direction. It is the mission of the Police Department to facilitate and administer the laws of governing bodies, the orders of the courts, and to direct all energies and resources towards maintaining the health, welfare, and safety of not only the citizens of Cotati, but its visitors as well.

The Police Department provides a 24 hour operation which includes dispatch, patrol, traffic enforcement, investigation, and community policing. We encourage Cotati residents to program in the non-emergency telephone number into their telephones, 707-792-4611. The non-emergency number is answered 24 hours a day.

The police facility was officially dedicated on October 17, 2003. The building is named in the honor of former Reserve Officer Robert "Raz" Rasmussen for his thirty-five years of service to the Cotati community.
