We wish everyone a happy Fourth of July - filled with safe and legal celebrations!

Independence Day is typically the busiest day of the year for the Oxnard Police Department, and we will have an elevated deployment of officers and staff. Personnel from every rank of the department will be on duty. We will be engaging in active efforts to identify D.U.I. drivers.

Last year, a total of 177 fireworks-related citations were issued between Memorial Day and July 10. We map the complaints, and deploy into the areas with the highest concentration. The City of Oxnard also created a "host liability" ordinance that fines and penalizes homeowners and tenants who allow fireworks on their property.
