National Police Week
May 10-16, 2026

This week, we recognize and honor the dedicated law enforcement officers who serve our community with professionalism, courage, and commitment each and every day.

Police work is demanding, unpredictable, and often carried out under difficult circumstances. Every day, our officers respond to emergencies, support victims, solve problems, and work tirelessly to keep our community safe. Their service and dedication make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we serve.

During National Police Week, we also pause to remember and honor the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

To the men and women of the Clearlake Police Department, thank you for your continued professionalism, resilience, and unwavering service to our community.

National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week
April 12-18, 2026

This week, we recognize the dedicated professionals who are often heard but rarely seen, our public safety telecommunicators. These individuals are the calm voices on the other end of the line during some of life’s most critical moments. They gather vital information, coordinate emergency responses, and provide reassurance to those in need, all while working under immense pressure.

To our outstanding dispatchers at Clearlake PD and across the profession: Thank you for your professionalism, resilience, and unwavering commitment. You are truly the “first of the first responders,” and your work makes a difference every single day. We appreciate everything you do to support our department and keep our community safe.

Tonight, we are proud to recognize and honor our dispatchers at the Clearlake City Council meeting for the vital role they serve in our community.
