Public Safety is a top priority for the City of Folsom. The City�s Police Department traces its roots to 1950, shortly after the city incorporated. Today the department has a staff of 125, including officers and support staff. Together they are responsible for the protection and safety of Folsom�s 62,000 residents and many visitors. Department staff work in partnership with the community to protect lives, property and quality of life within Folsom�s many neighborhoods. Their success is measured by Folsom�s extremely low crime rate and also by results of a recent public opinion poll showing a 95 percent satisfaction approval rating from the community.
