Help Us Improve The Tracks

The City wants your feedback to learn how The Tracks at Brea Trail could be improved. Open for several years, The Tracks is a popular city amenity widely used by the community. What was once a railroad and train depot was transformed into a 50-acre linear park that traverses the City across four miles. The Tracks was constructed over several years to have essential features such as, a bike trail, pedestrian path, fitness stations, bike repair stations, seating areas, drinking fountains, and restrooms. Now, the City is evaluating what features and amenities could be added to improve this wonderful City asset. Please share your thoughts by taking a brief online survey.

Fire Department & Public Works Open House

Join us for a day of fun activities at the Fire Department & Public Works Open House on Saturday, May 7 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. The event will take place at Fire Station 1 and the adjacent City Service Center. Both are located on Berry Street, between Lambert Rd. and Central Ave. This family-friendly event features equipment and vehicle displays, demonstrations, refreshments, and giveaways. There will also be opportunities to learn about water and energy conservation, recycling, composting, and the careful disposal of electronic or hazardous waste. Plus, there will be an opportunity to give your home a safety check and make sure your emergency kit is updated with guides that will be provided by the Fire Department.

File a Police Report Online

The Brea Police Department is excited to announce the release of its new Citizens Online Police Reporting System. Online reporting systems are a best practice and are now common amongst police departments. The implementation of this type of system in Brea supports the Police Department’s mission and core values. The online system allows for improved efficiency and reduced workloads on officers, front counter staff, and records personnel. Most importantly, the new system provides enhanced service to our community by making online reporting, of common crimes and issues, possible through a convenient and continuously accessible platform. Many non-emergency incidents can be reported, including lost property, theft, traffic collisions, vehicle tampering, and more. Users can print their filed reports immediately, at no cost.
