The department operates several divisions, including Patrol, Investigations, and Community Engagement, to address a variety of law enforcement needs.

Rosemead voters are served by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, Elections Division, located at 12400 East Imperial Highway, Norwalk, CA 90650 (phone: 800-815-2525, website: lavote.gov), which administers all federal, state, county, and municipal elections for residents. California residents can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov up to 15 days before an election, with conditional voter registration available at vote centers through Election Day. Voter registration requires providing a California driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number, along with residential address and date of birth. Rosemead holds municipal elections for City Council seats and Mayor on a consolidated basis with statewide elections; the City Council consists of five members serving four-year staggered terms, with the Mayor selected from among council members. The next Rosemead City Council elections are scheduled for March 2025 and March 2027. Local ballot measures and candidate information can be found at cityofrosemead.org and in the County's voter information guides distributed before each election. Rosemead residents can find their assigned polling place or vote center location by visiting lavote.gov/locator or calling 800-815-2525 and entering their address. Los Angeles County has transitioned to a Vote Center model under the Voter's Choice Act, allowing voters to cast ballots at any vote center in the county during an 11-day period ending on Election Day, rather than being restricted to a single precinct polling place. California law makes various election records publicly accessible, including voter registration lists (with certain protected information redacted), campaign finance disclosure statements through the California Fair Political Practices Commission at fppc.ca.gov, candidate nomination papers and statements, and precinct-level election results. The November 2024 presidential election saw approximately 3.9 million ballots cast in Los Angeles County, representing roughly 70% turnout of registered voters. The November 3, 2026 general election will feature the California gubernatorial race (Governor Gavin Newsom's term expires in 2027), all 80 State Assembly seats, 20 of 40 State Senate seats, constitutional offices including Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State, plus Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors seats and various judicial positions. No U.S. Senate seat from California is scheduled for election in 2026. California offers universal vote-by-mail, with all registered voters automatically receiving a mail ballot for each election, which can be returned by mail (postage-free), at any vote center or ballot drop box, or voters may choose to vote in person at vote centers instead.
