Today, it’s the most populated city in Ventura County - 22nd most populous in the state of California.

The Oxnard Police Department, founded over 118 years ago, now consists of approximately 230 officers in a variety of assigments (e.g. Patrol, Motors, Detectives, K9s, SWAT). These officers have sworn to protect the community they serve 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year.
