This poor thing was found in the area of BB Hwy near Hidden Valley. It appears to be an older dog and looks like he needs a lot of attention. Hollister Community please help us find his owner.
Thank you HPD

This sweet dog was found near the fire station near Knox Ave after the witness saw the pup fall out of the back of a white in color pick up truck. The dog does not seem to be injured and there is no collar on him. The witness was unable to get a make or model on the truck or any other identifying information. Please share like crazy tonight so we can get this pup back home.

Thank you-

The Hollister Police Department would like to give a shout out to Cox Hospital and their security division for donating 10 Axis Body Cameras.

We are in a transition phase with some equipment and these will help us tremendously to get to our goals.

🌹🌷🪷Planting Day!!! 🌺🪻🌻
The Hollister Police Family Support Group and the crew had a blast today sprucing up our planters in front of the PD facility. We ended the day with a bbq at the Downing Street park. I can't say enough about the group that we have here at HPD and their family members. Very proud to call these folks our blue line family. If you're out and about this week swing by and take a look. The pictures do not do it justice.
