History[edit]
Founded in 1928, the Tustin Police Department started with one officer, John Stanton. Before Stanton was hired as a "Street Superintendent" a title which changed to "Chief of Police" two months later, Stanton was a Huntington Beach Policeman. Chief Stanton was the only Tustin officer until 1942. At the time of his appointment, there were no police headquarters or stations, he took calls from his home.
Law Enforcement in Tustin[edit]
The Tustin Police Department was the first municipal law enforcement agency in the City of Tustin. After the city's incorporation on September 15, 1927, the newly elected city council felt that as a city, Tustin should have a police force.
