New Monrovia Police Department Website Goes Live
First it was Crime Mapping - Then it was Twitter - Now, the Monrovia Police Department is continuing to work toward its goal of providing the public with easier access to police information by launching a new website, www.monroviapd.org.  On February 9, 2012, Monrovia Police Department went live with its new, user friendly, police website.  The new website is easy to navigate and provides the community with quick access to police information.  Citizens can stay informed on police activity with the Neighborhood Watch Report; receive real time, up-to-date, crime statistics through crime mapping; access information on animal control issues and licensing; and find answers to many other general questions they might be seeking.  Whether it be finding out how to obtain a dog license, paying a parking citation online, or simply learning how to become a volunteer, this website is full of informative information.  The department will continue to refine and improve the website.
 
Please visit the new website and Stay informed with what is going on in your community.
