Message from Chief Kevin Martin
Hello Lompoc Community, Lompoc is a great place, and it's truly an honor to serve as your Chief of Police. This year's annual report looks a little different from last year's. We've organized it by month to give you a clearer picture of what the department has been doing
throughout the year. We've also added new sections to honor retired team members and remember former staff who have passed away. 2024 was a busy and productive year for the city and the department. Many of our key projects came to fruition. In-car and body-worn cameras are now fully deployed, helping us provide greater transparency to the community. The department completed the renovation of the women's locker room, giving our female officers a space they can truly be proud of. We also expanded our team. The department added a Homeless Liaison Officer and a Marijuana Compliance Officer—two roles that have already positively impacted our community. There were several promotions, including Captain Arias—a dedicated leader who grew up in Lompoc and whose story you'll read in this report. We also welcomed a new officer whose father and grandfather served in this department. One of the year's highlights was our first annual awards ceremony, recognizing the outstanding work of our staff. It's my hope this becomes a lasting tradition at LPD. Please review this report—our staff worked hard to provide you with this information. Your Lompoc Police Department remains committed to keeping our community safe and being transparent in all we do.
Thank you for your continued support. Chief Martin
