DESCRIPTION:The Fire and Police Commission meets on the 4th Thursday of ea
 ch month at 4 p.m. AgendasGeneral FunctionsVolunteerHistoryIn 1874, the P
 ioneer Fire Company No. 1 was organized. Crime was infrequent in Santa Bar
 bara in the 1800's and major felonies were so rare that it was not co
 nsidered necessary to form a police force until 1900. In 1927 the City Cou
 ncil formed the Fire and Police Commission to ensure the smooth and profes
 sional functioning of the two departments.The Commissioners organized the 
 departments into their present form, establishing their salaries and ranks
  and hiring chiefs. Major actions taken by either the Police or Fire Depar
 tment had to be approved by the Commission. This arrangement came to an en
 d in 1967 with the reconstitution of the Commission by the City Council, a
 t which time the Fire and Police Departments became responsible for their 
 own operations, with the Fire and Police Commission acting solely in an ad
 visory capacity.
