During National Police Week, the Pasadena Police Department honors the dedication, courage, and sacrifice of the men and women who serve our community every day. We also remember the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice and the families who continue to carry their legacy forward.
Thank you to all Pasadena PD personnel for your unwavering commitment, professionalism, and service to the City of Pasadena. Your work does not go unnoticed, and we are proud to stand beside you.
The Pasadena Police Department was proud to host a Mobile Command Center (MCC) Showcase at Rose Bowl Stadium, co-hosted with LDV, Inc.
The first event of its kind in the Pasadena region brought together nearly a dozen law enforcement agencies for a day focused on collaboration, innovation, and advancing mobile operations.
Departments shared technology, strategies, and best practices to strengthen coordinated field responses and enhance public safety preparedness. Opportunities like this reinforce a shared commitment to partnership, readiness, and serving our communities together.
1,000 Miles...
One Mission...
Honor the fallen...
Remember the survivors...
On Thursday, May 7, 2026, riders from the Law Enforcement Memorial Bike Ride stopped by our station to pay tribute to the Pasadena Police Officers who have died in the line of duty. This stop was one of many stops for the cyclists as they make their way to Washington D.C. honoring all officers who have died in service to their communities.

Pasadena Police Department was proud to take part in the 2026 P.I.C.S. (Post-Incarceration Services: The Impact Model), Summit in Long Beach, bringing together leaders focused on supporting successful reentry and reducing recidivism.
Chief Gene Harris was invited to speak on the importance of community engagement, trust, and collaboration in building safer, more connected communities.
Officer Michael Bentley also attended after being recognized at last year’s summit for his outstanding, compassionate work supporting individuals in crisis, an honor that led to his invitation back this year.
Together, we continue working alongside our partners to create meaningful pathways for rehabilitation and positive change.
We proudly congratulate Officer Raymond Cardenas on being named Officer of the Year, an honor that reflects his dedication, professionalism, and service to our community.
Officer Cardenas will represent the Pasadena Police Department at events throughout the year, beginning with today’s American Legion Pasadena Post Police 13 Officer and Firefighter of the Year Awards Luncheon.
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week may be coming to a close, but our gratitude continues year-round.
