The San Jose Police Department (SJPD) protects the streets of San Jose, California, and keeps San Jose one of the safest large cities in the United States.[1] The San Jose Police Department is led by Chief of Police Christopher Moore.
In September 2007, the San Jose Police Department began making all its Calls for Service available to the public [2] through a partnership with Crime Reports.com.[3] San Jose is the first American city to make all 911 calls available in near real time, an event which was publicized throughout the United States.
