About the Los Altos Police Department
The Los Altos Police Department is at 1 N. San Antonio Road, part of the civic center. It is one of the smaller departments in the county; a 2018 Civil Grand Jury report lists its holding area at four adults.
Los Altos police cover the city of Los Altos only. The neighboring town of Los Altos Hills has no police department and is patrolled by Sheriff’s deputies from Cupertino, which sometimes confuses families. Both send arrests to the Main Jail in San Jose, about 12 miles from Los Altos, and both have cases heard at the Palo Alto Courthouse.
