Riverside Police Department is pleased to release their 2019 Annual Report.
The report is intended for the Board of Trustees, residents, and other interested parties who wish to review the activities of the Police Department and for those requesting information regarding Police Department activities.
Chief Tom Weitzel’s Statement on the Annual Report
Community engagement continues to be a high priority for the Riverside Police Department. Our officers focus on having positive interactions on a daily basis. A new youth interaction program was implemented at Riverside District 96 Schools giving officers the opportunity to build relationships with students and teachers. There are many examples of officer-led community policing initiatives throughout this report. These ideas and initiatives are creative, effective and often utilized by other law enforcement agencies. Please follow us on Twitter (@pdriverside) to keep up with what is going on with the Police Department.
The Riverside Police Department is committed to providing the highest quality of service to our citizens. We will continue to do this by working with our community partners, utilizing technology and listening to our most valuable resource--our employees.
Thank you for taking a look at our annual report. I hope you see the how much effort and hard work was put forth by the Police Department in 2019.
