WPD executes search warrant, uncovers drugs, guns and more

Recently, executed a search warrant at a home in the 7900 block of N Lowell Blvd following an extensive investigation related to motor vehicle theft, drug possession and distribution, and eluding.

Officers found drugs and several guns inside and recovered a stolen trailer. Four people were arrested and taken into custody on outstanding warrants and new charges. Job well done!

Are you prepared to evacuate with your pets?

Our Animal Management team and the City of Westminster Emergency Management teamed up with public safety partners and local pet owners for a hands-on evacuation simulation focused on family and pet disaster preparedness.

The scenario helped us practice how to safely assist animals that may be left behind in an evacuation zone or need extra help during an emergency. After the simulation, we welcomed community members to ask questions and learn more about emergency response.

This is another good reminder to sign up for Lookout Alert and Genasys Protect to stay informed and prepared.
