The mission of the NPHS is to preserve the unique history of the Napa Police Department, honor current & former employees, and educate the public about the rich history of the NPD.

Earlier this month a reunion lunch was held for former Napa Central Dispatch employees. The group included nineteen former Dispatchers. Napa City Manager (and former Chief of Police) Steve Potter was a special guest. In attendance was the oldest surviving Dispatcher, Carolyn "Jollie" Jolliffe, and former Dispatcher Andrew White, who is now the Chief of Police for Martinez PD. The event was organized by former Dispatcher Theresa Kramer, who also travelled the farthest, all the way from Maine!

Continuing the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Napa Police Historical Society....

The restoration of the 1957 Ford Custom 300 Napa PD car. In 2009-2010 an all-volunteer effort was mounted, with donations and in-kind work from local businesses, to recreate a 1957 NPD patrol car (unfortunately an original one was not kept/preserved). The restored car has been a favorite at local parades & car shows ever since!

We participated in Napa’s 4th of July parade today with the ‘57 Ford, hope everyone has a fun & safe 4th! 🇺🇸

In our continuing series honoring the 20th anniversary of the Napa Police Historical Society....

The 2009 ceremonies dedicating the flagpole in front of the Napa PD, and the "Wall of Honor" in the main entry hallway. The flagpole was made possible by a generous NPHS member donation. A highlight of the Wall of Honor is a plaque honoring K-9 Vem, who died in the line of duty in 1979. Her handler, Retired Officer John O'Donnell, was on present to unveil her plaque.

In our continuing series celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Napa Police Historical Society:

One of our pop-up displays at the 2007 City of Napa Retiree Lunch. This was a yearly event held for over a decade. Each year the NPHS would create a display; our focus was finding photographs of attendees on the job.

Continuing our celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Napa Police Historical Society...

One of our missions is to "Educate" the public about the unique history of the Napa Police Department. This 2006 flyer highlights our first effort, a presentation made to members of the Napa County Historical Society (NCHS). Since then, numerous presentations have been made to local service organizations, and in partnership with the NCHS at their events. If you know of a local group that might want to learn more about the Napa PD via one of these presentations drop us a line.

This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Napa Police Historical Society. We'll be sharing some of the highlights of our first 20 years. Thank you for your continued support of our mission: Preserve-Honor-Educate!

This was our very first public display, in the Napa PD lobby. The display case was donated by the Napa Police Officers Association. This display has since been updated several times. If you're in the area stop in and see what's currently on display!
