Presidio of Monterey Police Department

The Presidio of Monterey (POM), located in Monterey, California, is an active US Army installation with historic ties to the Spanish colonial era. Currently, it is the home of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLI-FLC). It is the last and only presidio in California to have an active military installation.

Welcome to the Presidio of Monterey (POM) Police Department. I encourage you to spend some time with our website to use it as a resource for assistance and to learn about us, and our services.

It is truly an honor to represent the hard-working men and women of the Presidio of Monterey Police Department. We are at a pivotal point in our history, as we strive to become the premiere law enforcement agency in the region of Central California. We understand that the fear of crime can be best reduced through the balanced delivery of policing that consists of three components, prevention, intervention and enforcement. We also recognize that maintaining community safety can only be achieved with the support and involvement of our community.

We are a streamlined, agile organization that is customer-focused and support an expeditionary Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, and the Future "Community". Our greatest assets are our police employees, and we are continually looking for innovative people who would like to be part of our success. If you are interested in one of our continuing employment opportunities, I encourage you to contact our personnel and training division for information on employment and processing requirements. I invite you to check back often as we will continually update our website to offer information and assistance. We also welcome your comments and suggestions.
