About Santa Monica
Santa Monica became a city in 1886. Apart from its beach, it is surrounded by the City of Los Angeles. It is home to the Santa Monica Pier, built in 1909, and the Third Street Promenade, and it marks the western end of Route 66.
Santa Monica has its own police department, so arrests here are handled by Santa Monica officers, not LAPD or the Sheriff.
