Most officers will warn or issue a citation for repeat violators when we see them. The California Vehicle Code requires children under the age of 18 to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. If you have a child who does not have a helmet, then the American Canyon Police Department can provided your ch...

Issa, You have asked some good questions, and I will try to answer them as best I can, keeping in mind I am not speaking for every officer in the state when I say some of this....

The intersection you speak of is one that is scheduled for change in the coming make over of American Canyon Road.

So if your friend was washing her car and received a citation for 72 hours- then it was ...

Guest - We work 12-hour shifts and occasionally take breaks together. BUT if we are on break, we are never "off the air" or unavailable. ACPD and the Sheriff's Department are not like other agencies where officers take a meal break and are off the air. We take our lunches when time permits...

For those of you that want info on your County Codes, you can access them through the Napa County Website at:

http://www.co.napa.ca.us/

American Canyon and Yountville have adopted most of these codes as Muni Codes, plus they each have specific City Codes as they pertain to each city.
