Layhew, \u201cThe mission of the Simi Valley Police Department is to safeguard lives, protect property and ensure a quality of life whereby people within Simi Valley may enjoy a sense of peace and security.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chief continues\u2026\u201dWe accomplish this mission in cooperation with our residents and community organizations. Simi Valley’s frequent FBI rating as the Safest City in America is a result of this partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n
