The US Geological Society (USGS) provides a series of short videos to help your preparedness in case of a tsunami warning.
PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE-BACK
PHPD participated in the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) "National Take-Back Day" on September 25, 2010, during which residents dropped off their expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs to help prevent prescription drug abuse and theft. Due to the overwhelming response, PHPD has decided to continue this program by keeping the secure collection box available in the Police Department lobby.
The drugs collected are taken to the DEA's destruction sites for safe, environmentally-friendly disposal. It is important to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from your medicine cabinet, and depositing them in the collection box is the safest way to do so. Remember to NEVER dispose of medications in the toilet.

CHANGE IN LIVE-SCAN PROCEDURE TO APPOINTMENT ONLY SCHEDULE
Our Agency has accepted live-can applicants on an appointment schedule for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays of each week. Even with this appointment schedule, the employees that handle the live-scan process are significantly impacted and are falling behind in the collateral duties of their positions.
Effective March 1, 2007, we are changing the days available for live-scan fingerprinting to Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The present appointment procedure shall remain the same. We feel these hours will enable us to serve our community and still allow our employees the time necessary to perform their duties.
To schedule an appointment for live-scan, please call 986-6530.
THE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION OF THE PORT HUENEME POLICE DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEERS IN POLICING PROGRAM
The Port Hueneme Police Department Volunteers in Policing Program has been in operation since January 2006. As of August 2006 we had five volunteers working in different capacities from general clerical assistance to customizing computer databases, assisting in Identity Fraud, operating our Police Department Storefront Office, and assisting in the Property and Evidence Room. The Volunteer force donated a total of 1788 hours from January through August 2006. Based on the national average hourly value of a volunteer’s time of $18.04 in 2005 (The Department of Labor Statistics) the value of the contributed hours equated to $32,255 saved by the Port Hueneme Police Department as a result of our Volunteer Program.
We Would Like Your Help - The Port Hueneme Police Department is making every effort to curtail crime within our City. We are seeking your assistance in making Port Hueneme a safer place for all to live and work. As citizens of Port Hueneme, you and your neighbors can help the Police reduce crime in your neighborhoods
