Walnut Creek Police Department
Walnut Creek Police Field Office
In 2016, the Walnut Creek Police Department opened a Shadelands WCPD field office on Shadelands Drive. The office is a work station for patrol officers who are assigned to that area of Walnut Creek, known as Sector Three, and who will be able to conduct non-emergency police business without having to travel Ygnacio Valley Road all the way back to City Hall. The new Shadelands field office increases police presence and visibility in the 267-acre Shadelands business center and the surrounding neighborhoods, and reduces officer response times to Sector Three calls. Although the field office will not be open on a regular basis to the public initially, signage and the increased presence of police vehicles will be noticeable. The department hopes to staff the office with volunteers who could than open a public counter within the field office for several hours each week.
