Cold Cases
The Santa Rosa Police Department is dedicated to investigating violent crimes. Even if a case goes "cold” we remain committed to the relentless pursuit of truth and justice for victims. As new investigative technologies and techniques are developed, cold cases are revisited and reexamined through a new lens.
SRPD needs for your help. Anyone who may have information, even if it seems insignificant, should come forward and report that tip to police. Ultimately, that information may be the missing piece needed to solve the crime and bring those responsible to justice.
