Records Division

The Records Division is located in the Police Department at City Hall.  Please email us at PDRecords@brisbaneca.org for assistance in light of the current health situation.  If you need to come in-person, please note that entrance to the Police Department is off Valley Drive, or the west side of the building.  To contact police personnel after-hours or if the lobby is closed for business, there is a yellow call box to the right of the lobby door that will connect you directly to the Police Dispatch Center.
