Lancaster Police Department to Host Community Public Safety Town Hall on November 13

Lancaster, CA. November 12, 2026 -- The City of Lancaster and Lancaster Police Department invite community members to participate in an upcoming Community Public Safety Town Hall on Friday, November 13, at 6 p.m. at the Skytower Park Community Room (43434 Vineyard Dr.).

The forum will provide an open space for residents to engage directly with local officers, voice neighborhood concerns, and explore the department's crime prevention strategies and resources.

"Lancaster's standard for public safety is about building an environment where every family feels secure and valued," said Mayor R. Rex Parris. "A truly safe city requires relentless innovation and constant, honest communication."

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet department representatives, review current public safety initiatives, and participate in an open Q&A session focused on community concerns.

"Effective policing begins with listening," said Chief of Police Rodrick Armalin. "Our officers are out in the community every single day, but real security comes from strong, transparent relationships with the neighborhoods we serve. We want to hear directly about what you're seeing on your blocks, share how we are deploying our resources, and work together on solutions that deliver real peace of mind."

The event is free and open to all Lancaster residents and families.
