Many would agree that Menlo Park is a great place to live, work and have fun. At number 80, Menlo Park was named by among the top 100 safest suburbs in California and 22nd safest in the San Francisco Bay Area by Niche Local. Niche Local offers rankings and statistics on every neighborhood and city in the U.S. to help people find the best places to live, visit and raise a family. The Menlo Park community achieved this ranking by working together and the police department credits these standings to several factors, including active residents, business owners, staff and the City Council. The police department, along with all other departments in the City, is committed to collaborating and providing the highest level of service to our residents, businesses and visitors. Our quest for making Menlo Park the safest city in the county is not a long shot, and with local partnerships, we can continue to climb the ranks and become the safest suburb in California and the Bay Area.
