police services
The Foothill-De Anza Police Department provides law enforcement services from 6 am
to 12 midnight, seven days a week at the Foothill and De Anza campuses. Patrol operations
are managed by two Sergeants, staffed with ten police officers working 10-hour shifts.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office provides police services from 12 midnight
to 6 am.
Our mission is to provide safety and security by protecting the College community
and its assets. This is effectively achieved through community engagement and partnerships.
Through our close, professional working relationship with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's
Office (who provides service in Cupertino and Los Altos Hills), Foothill-De Anza Police
officers are available to render aid to the Sheriff's Office for calls surrounding
the Foothill and De Anza campuses.
To fulfill the responsibility of providing public safety and security for Foothill
and De Anza Community Colleges, the Foothill-De Anza Police Department utilizes a
multifaceted approach. The Foothill-De Anza Police Department provides high visibility
patrol using vehicular, motorcycle, bicycle, and foot patrols. Our full-service Police
Department balances reactive responses to criminal incidents and emergencies with
a proactive focus on reducing or preventing criminal activity that may compromise
public safety and security.The Patrol Division oversees the following specialty units: Field Training Program,
Crime Scene/Evidence Technicians, Motorcycle Team, and Bicycle Patrol Team.

Bike & Property Registration
The goal of the Bike & Property Registration Form is to allow students to register
their personal property and store that information for future queries. This will speed
the recovery of lost or stolen items if such an event should occur. This will also
provide data for the Foothill-De Anza Police Department's use in tracking crime trends
on the two campuses.
Please use our Bike & Property Registration Form.
