Community Relations

The Corona Police Department’s Community Relations Unit (CRU) is dedicated to building and maintaining strong community relationships through transparent communication, proactive public engagement, and effective media strategy.

Below are some of our current CRU Programs and Services offered to the community free of charge. For additional information, please contact us directly at CRU@CoronaCA.Gov or (951) 736-2330.  

‍Community Outreach

‍Corona Police Department values its community partnerships and participates in outreach events in an effort to foster positive relationships with local residents. Outreach events typically include a police presence, car/motorcycle display, fingerprint machine, career opportunities and crime prevention materials.

Business Liaison Program

The BLP addresses quality-of-life and safety concerns such as illegal dumping, graffiti, loitering, trespassing, and security issues. Its goal is to strengthen partnerships with local businesses, improve communication, provide a direct point of contact, and ensure public safety personnel have up-to-date business and after-hours contact information for emergency response.

Police Explorer

The Corona Police Explorer Program is a partnership with the Boy Scouts of America Learning for Life Program. Corona Police Explorers receive training and exposure in career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education and leadership experience. Click here if you’re interested in learning more about our explorer program

Station Tours

Tours offer visitors a greater understanding of how the station operates daily. The tours are guided by a Police Officer or Police Cadet and are great for all ages. Click here to fill out the Tours and Presentations Request Form.

Neighborhood Watch

Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective ways to prevent crime and reduce fear. It forges bonds between neighbors and helps reduce residential crime such as burglary, auto theft or juvenile crimes. The Corona Police Department can help you start or join a neighborhood watch in your area. Neighborhood Watch meetings are coordinated by neighbors and a Crime Prevention Specialist from the Police Department. Security recommendations are made and follow-up topics are available. Active Neighborhood Watch groups can purchase "Neighborhood Watch" street signs to show their participation in the program. Join here!

Personal Safety

The Corona Police Department offers a multitude of crime prevention materials to help residents reduce their chance of being victimized. Prevention topics include vehicle and home security, robbery, burglary, domestic violence, gang avoidance, etc.

Business Security Survey

This survey is intended to evaluate current security measures. A Corona Police Officer or Community Outreach Specialist will use the survey results to recommend actions to help prevent/deter future crime.

Senior Citizens Safety

The Corona Senior Citizens Center hosts weekly health screenings and lectures. We plan to give a brief presentation on elderly safety. Additionally, we would like to use the fingerprint machine to offer family members of elderly individuals a digital copy of their fingerprints, medications used, photo, general info, etc. (useful if the elderly individual has Alzheimer’s and wanders off).
