Moreno Valley Police Hosts Community Oriented Meeting

On Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016, officers from the Moreno Valley Police Department and community members came together to discuss community issues and build positive relationships. All community members were invited to attend; however, the focus of the meeting covered Zone 3 community issues. Zone 3 is bordered by Alessandro Blvd. on the north, Lasselle Street on the east, Harley Knox Blvd. on the south, and March Air Reserve Base on the west. "The Moreno Valley Police Department is committed to enhancing the delivery of quality service to the community we serve," the department said in a statement. "The police department’s goal is to educate residents on community oriented policing and how officers and the community can work together in creating safer neighborhoods. This meeting (gave) residents an opportunity to voice their concerns, and meet the Chief of Police and zone officers who patrol their neighborhoods." A Zone Deployment System, which is derived from community oriented policing principles, represents the organizational and management methodology to meet these challenges. The principles and practices of community oriented policing is utilized within all areas serviced by the Moreno Valley Police Department. The zone policing program aims to advance the practice of community-oriented policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members.
