Police Chief Don Aguilar

At our September 18 Meeting we were very pleased to welcome Santa Paula Police Chief Don Aguilar for an informative Q and A.

We had a wide ranging discussion, from how the Santa Paula Police Department (SPPD) is preparing its citizenry for ICE issues, to homelessness concerns.

The discussion was recorded, so please WATCH as Chief Aguilar explains the composition of ICE, the limitations on the police to act in certain situations, and also the willingness of the SPPD to respond to the community’s concerns.

At our October 23 Meeting we learned more about our county's probation department, and its concerns about ICE.
