Pittsburg Police Department Invites Community to "Palabras con la Policía"

The Pittsburg Police Department invites community members to join officers for Palabras con la Policía on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The event will be held on the City Hall Lawn at 65 Civic Avenue.

Palabras con la Policía is a community focused event designed to bring Pittsburg residents and officers together in an informal and welcoming setting. Community members are encouraged to stop by, meet the officers who serve their neighborhoods, ask questions, learn about available community resources, and, as the event name says, have a conversation. This event is multilingual, catering especially to Spanish speakers as part of the Pittsburg Police Department's continued commitment to building strong relationships with the Pittsburg community through open communication and positive interactions outside of traditional calls for service.

"Some of the most valuable conversations we have with our community happen outside of an emergency or a call for service," said Pittsburg Police Chief Phil Galer. "Palabras con la Policía gives our officers and community members an opportunity to get to know one another, ask questions, share information, and continue building the relationships that help make Pittsburg a stronger community."

Light refreshments will be provided at this free event, and no registration is required. Residents of all ages are encouraged to attend.
