The Ojai Station provides full-service policing to the approximately 30,000 residents residing in the Ojai Valley. Included in this population is the City of Ojai which contracts with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office for police services.

Personnel assigned to the Ojai Station are proactively engaged in community policing and have a familiarity with the area that is unique to Ojai.  Deputies employ a variety of policing strategies to prevent crime, apprehend offenders, and improve police-community partnerships and effective two-way communication.  They can often be seen patrolling city streets on bicycles or walking the business district and community park on foot, engaging with residents and merchants.  Ojai Police use social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Nixle to keep the community informed about public safety concerns and other community events.  Additionally, the Ojai Valley area enjoys a high degree of volunteerism and the Ojai Police also utilize Volunteers in Policing to support efforts toward serving the community.
