SPECIAL JOINT MEETING WITH THE CUCAMONGA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT Monday, February 13, 2012 4 5:30 p.m. Tri-Communities Room at the Civic Center Page 2 of 2 CUCAMONGA CANYON LAW ENFORCEMENTS RESPONSIBILITIES: The primary concern of the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department is protecting the quality of life of the residents near the canyon entrance. Residents have expressed concerns about pollution, vandalism, theft, and trespass. It is the police department's responsibility to develop an approach to reduce the criminal influences that tend to diminish that quality of life. It is also the responsibility of the police department to allow visitors to the community to have access to public areas in a manner that is officially permitted and lawful. STATISTICAL DATA: See attachment MITIGATING THE PROBLEM: To lessen the affect of criminal activity in the neighborhoods near the entrance to the canyon we will utilize amulti-disciplinary team including: • Police o Citizen Equestrian Patrol o Crime Prevention • Fire • US Forestry • Property owners • City Public Works The team approach will allow a greater access to resources and better cooperation which will increase the probability of success in obtaining the objective of reducing criminal activity. POLICE DEPARTMENT STRATEGY: An issue of this type should be engaged from various approaches such as: • Public education and notification • Proactive enforcement of laws The police department in conjunction with the fire department is planning a public education effort. We are researching how we can utilize popular social media sites to enhance this effort. We believe social media will allow us to disseminate information that canyon access is not permitted via private property. In addition, information will be distributed to residents on how to identify and report suspicious activity. In conjunction with the public works department we will be creating and installing advisory signs of no canyon access and no trespassing signs warning of criminal prosecution (see illustrations for location and design of signs). We have obtained trespass agreements from most of the land owners who have trails utilized illegally by visitors to access the canyon. These agreements will allow us, on behalf of the land owners, to issue citations and remove individuals who are trespassing on these lands. The police department has already begun using equestrian patrols made up of deputy sheriffs and civilian volunteers to make contact with trespassers and issue citations when necessary. An additional emphasis has been placed on the beat car to be proactive in and around the neighborhoods. Once the advisory and no trespassing signs are installed we will periodically conduct special enforcement in the canyon area to promote compliance with canyon access laws. By encouraging visitors to use only lawful access to the canyon we believe there will be a significant reduction in criminal activity in and around the neighborhoods near the canyon. These plans will be flexible in nature and will utilize a common sense approach to the enforcement of any laws. r-_____.-- _-_-_ ~ CUCAMONGA CANYON AREA POLICE CALL HISTORY MAY 2011- JANUARY 2012 AREA CHECKS ~sr XTRA PATROLS 82 SUBJECT CHECKS 18 BURGLARY RESIDENTIAL 2 VEHICLE 28 DISTRUBING THE PEACE 4 FIREWORKS 1 ILLEGAL DUMPING 2 TRESPASSING 1 PARKING VIOLATIONS 44 VEHICLE CHECKS 66 CITATIONS ISSUED 87 VANDALISM 4 SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES 3 (2) TRAIL HEAD AT WEST END ALMOND ST (2) TRAIL HEAD ALMOND ST EAST TURQUOISE AVE (1) TRAIL HEAD ALMOND ST EAST CRESTVIEW PL (1) TRAIL HEAD ALMOND ST WEST OF SKYLINE RD (1) TRAIL HEAD AT HORSETRAIL WEST OF CRESTVIEW PL (3) TRAIL HEAD NORTH END OF CRESTVIEW PL (3) TRAIL HEAD NORTH END OF SKYLINE RD HEADING WEST o ~OG°.~T~IC~JrM.~ NORTH BOUND TURQUOISE AVE SOUTH OF ALMOND ST WEST BOUND ALMOND ST WEST OF CRESTVIEW PL NORTHBOUND CRESTVIEW PL AT ALMOND ST TOP END OF CRESTVIEW PL ., Q ~~ ~ ~~£ ~ZZ 8 n`~ ..Z n8~ W .-. ~ ~ ~ U F W U ~ W W W .-.
