Message from the Director
Thank you for taking the time to check into the P.A.C.T. Home Page. We are a volunteer organization that provides crime prevention support to the City of Ridgecrest. P.A.C.T. is a vehicle that allows the police, and the citizens they serve, to come together in a cooperative spirit helping each other achieve a crime free community. Citizen volunteer members are comprised of volunteers having an interest in helping their law enforcement agency.
Even though I have only been in the community for a short time, I find the people of Ridgecrest warm, caring, and striving for a safe area in which to live, work, and play. The Ridgecrest Police Department is here to serve you. All the resources of the department are at the disposal of every community member.

Executive Director
Message from the Chief
The men and women of the Ridgecrest Police Department are committed to public service, crime prevention, and in making our community safe for those who live, work and visit our beautiful City. Community partnerships are a vital element in the effort to enhance the quality of life in Ridgecrest.
To that end, the Ridgecrest Police Department has expanded its community policing effort to include citizen volunteers as part of the Department. The PACT volunteers are dedicated members of this community who serve the city by assisting the police department in providing such service in a variety of ways.
Safety and crime prevention is everyone’s job. I hope you will join us in this exciting and rewarding effort as a member of the PACT volunteers.
