The San Mateo Police Department is committed to providing professional, responsive, and effective public safety services to our community. As part of that commitment, the Department conducted a comprehensive staffing study to evaluate current staffing levels, operational demands, and future needs. This study analyzes call volume, service demands, workload, and best practices in modern policing to ensure the Department is properly staffed to meet the needs of our community both today and in the years ahead.
