San Benito Police Department

The San Benito Police Department is closely monitoring local, state and national updates regarding the COVID-19 situation. In order to minimize the spread of such virus, we will be making temporary changes to our operations. Officers will continue to patrol and provide services throughout the city. However, minor offenses and past incidents will be handled by phone rather than in person.

If you wish to speak to an officer, call the non-emergency number at 956-361-3880. A dispatcher will receive your call and collect the necessary information. An officer will contact you by phone a short time afterwards. Officers will continue to respond to in-progress crimes and incidents that require an investigation.

Records requests can be made in person as well as online by email:

Prisoner Visitation is restricted to legal counsel.

The department cares about the public and has taken these measures to protect our community and officers during this time.
