The Azusa Police Department is aware there have been sightings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in our city. There is a video circulating that shows ICE agents at a red light behind one of our officers. This was solely a coincidence due to proximity.

Azusa PD does not enforce civil immigration laws and we do not ask about individual’s immigration status when responding to calls.

As always, if you are a victim of a crime, a witness, or in need a police assistance, please contact us. Our personnel will continue to provide police service, regardless of immigration status. We are proud to serve a diverse community and encourage our community members to remain calm and stay informed of their rights.
