Since incorporation in 1977, law enforcement services in the City have been provided through a contract with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. The City continues to be one of Southern California's most family-oriented, safe and prosperous cities.

The low crime rate that the City continues to enjoy is a direct result of not only the hard work and dedication of the men and women of the Police Department but the positive interaction and participation by the community in crime prevention activities. These efforts have resulted in not only one of the safest cities to live in, but also a place where the citizens enjoy the security of a City and a Police Department that are truly dedicated to working together to provide a safe and family oriented environment.

The Police Department has one of the largest volunteer units in the Inland Empire, which includes Line Reserves, Citizen Patrol, Equestrian Patrol and Explorers. The number of volunteer hours dedicated to the department and the City continues to be the highest in the County. Many of these volunteers have been residents within the City for some time, which also attests to the community's involvement of working together to provide a better place to live.

Public safety is the City's highest priority. The City has expended funds in recent years to add equipment and personnel to enhance Police services to meet increased service needs. The City will continue to take advantage of any available Federal and State funding opportunities. As the community continues to grow, the challenge will be to continue addressing these increased needs that affect the “quality of life” in Rancho Cucamonga and define our community as a safe one.
