– A Corona man was arrested and booked into the Orange County Jail on December 18, 2015, for being in possession of mail and packages from dozens of residents of Anaheim Hills, Diamond Bar and Corona.  Some of the stolen mail included Christmas cards.  The man was cited for the same type of theft two weeks prior, but was released after his sentence was reduced because of the Proposition 47 law.  The man was not identified by police.

Proposition 47, passed in November 2014, allows many nonviolent crimes to be categorized as misdemeanors instead of felonies, thus reducing sentences for offenders.  Crimes that are reduced include writing bad checks, petty theft, forgery, grand theft under $950, and some drug-related offenses.

Eastvale – On January 8, 2016, at 10:30am, the Wives of Law Enforcement and Firefighters will hold their 2nd annual “Flags for the Fallen” event in the City of Eastvale, California.

This event honors police officers and firefighters who have sacrificed all and died on duty.  Law enforcement officers, firefighters, community leaders and residents will gather and place an American flag in front of Eastvale Fire Station #27, located at 7067 Hamner Avenue in Eastvale. Last year’s event attracted many participants and we expect a larger turn out this year.

In light of the recent tragedy in the City of San Bernardino, we are also honoring the 14 innocent civilians that were taken by terrorists. We will be placing 14 American flags in their honor.

We invite residents to join us in placing these American flags. Please check our Facebook page and website, eastvalewolff.com for updated information. We hope to bring communities together and bring awareness to a worthy cause. Also, a special thanks to Eastvale and surrounding communities for their support of our fallen heroes.

In June 2015, Eastvale City Council approved the creation of one motorcycle enforcement officer position.  In the months that followed, a BMW motorcycle was purchased and outfitted for police service, and Deputy Aaron Hallenbeck was selected as Eastvale’s first motor officer.  Hallenbeck started his patrol on Thursday, Nov. 12.

With the creation of the motor officer position, the Eastvale Traffic Team now consists of two community service officers, two deputy sheriff accident investigators, and one motor officer.  The Eastvale Police Department works closely with the city of Eastvale’s traffic engineers and Corona Norco Unified School District to ensure the roads in Eastvale are the safest possible.  This is accomplished through education, engineering, encouraging, and enforcement.

Through the review of collision data, roadway traffic volume counts, and community concerns, dates, times, and locations of enforcement are prioritized, as follows: school locations, areas where collisions occur most frequently, and areas where traffic complaints are received.

Public Safety Tips for Holiday Season

Courtesy of Riverside County Sheriff

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department would like to remind the public about some safety tips with all the entertainment and activities associated with the holiday season. It’s easy to overlook some personal safety practices when enjoying the holiday’s throughout the county.

 

Below are some helpful tips to keep in mind during the holiday season:

CAR SAFETY

Do not leave packages or valuables visible within your car. Always lock your doors and windows and don’t forget to set your alarm or use an anti-theft device.

SHOPPING TRIPS

Always be aware of your surroundings. If shopping at night, go with a friend or family member.

SHOPPING WITH LITTLE ONES

Teach children to stay close to you at all times while shopping and never allow children to make unaccompanied trips to the restroom.

PACKAGE DELIVERY

With the online shopping trend, more people are having packages stolen right off their front porch. If you are expecting a package, request signature confirmation or have a trusted neighbor hold the package for you!

GIFT PACKAGE DISPOSAL

Dispose of big gift boxes discreetly. Packaging for items such as TV’s, computers etc., should be broken down before disposing, do not let everyone see the wonderful gifts your family received during the holidays.

ANSWERING THE DOOR

Criminals can often try and scope out your home posing as a sales person or someone looking for charitable donations. Be cautious when talking to people whom you are unfamiliar with and do not let them in your home.

LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON

Leave outside lights on at night or set them on a timer. During the day, leave the radio or television on so the house looks and sounds occupied.

TRAVELING

If you are going away for the holidays, have a neighbor or family member watch your house and pick up your newspapers and mail.

The Riverside Sheriff’s Department is committed to public safety and wishes everyone joy and happiness during this holiday season. Citizens are encouraged to telephone the local law enforcement stations to report any suspicious activities, vehicles or persons.

Non-emergency concerns may be reported to the Eastvale Police Department by calling 951-776-1099 or, in an emergency, by calling 9-1-1.

 

Keep Your Home and Family Safe During the Holidays

Decorate your Tree with Kids and Pets in Mind

  • Move ornaments that are breakable or have metal hooks towards the top of the tree. That makes room at the bottom for the ones that are safer for curious fingers and paws.
  • Natural trees look beautiful and smell great, but if they’re not watered regularly, needles can dry out and pose a potential fire hazard. Make sure your tree has plenty of water by checking it regularly.
  • Lights are one of the best parts of holiday decorating. Take a look at the ones on your tree and in and around your home for exposed or frayed wires, loose connections or broken sockets.

 

Blow Out Candles and Store Matches Out of Reach

  • Keep holiday candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn, and don’t forget to blow them out when you leave the room or before you go to sleep.
  • Make a habit of placing matches and lighters in a safe place, out of children’s reach. Avoid novelty lighters or lighters that look like toys.

 

Keep Harmful Plants Out of Reach

  • Plants can spruce up your holiday decorating, but keep those that may be poisonous out of reach of children or pets. This includes mistletoe berries, holly berry, and Jerusalem cherry.
  • In a poison emergency, call the national Poison Control Center at 1- 800-222-1222.

 

Don’t Forget a Helmet for New Bikes or Other Toys

  • If your child’s heart is set on a bike, skateboard or scooter this holiday season, be sure to include a helmet to keep them safe while they’re having fun.

 

In the Kitchen

  • Utilize the back burner of your stove and turn pot handles away from the edge to prevent curious little hands from pulling hot pots off the burners. Engage your children in the prep process, this helps to curb the curiosity and allows them to feel helpful and learn to use pot holders and other safety measures while in the kitchen

Riverside County: Fraud Alert!

Don’t be scammed by fake IRS, Jury Duty, Courts, Overdue Bills, or Utility or Service Providers
Courtesy of Riverside County Sheriff’s Department

RIVERSIDE COUNTY-The holidays are approaching and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department would like to remind the public of phone/fraud scams. Please be vigilant and always question unsolicited telephone calls from deceptive businesses, banking institutions, foreign countries, or government agencies where monetary promises or threats are implied or made directly.
Numerous fraud schemes involving mortgage assistance, outstanding tax collection, foreign government assistance, and even to companies promising to return money lost are impacting citizens throughout the county. These scammers almost always request money to be paid up front for illegitimate services, or the threat of arrest, eviction or property seizure is made.
A notable and common scheme involves the caller who claims to be a member of law enforcement, or an employee of the the court system. The victim is told he or she has a warrant for failing to appear for jury duty. The caller demands payment for the warrant via credit card information, or a Green Dot card. The suspect typically remains on the phone with the victim while he or she travels to the store to obtain the Green Dot card. The suspect further instructs the victim not to tell anyone who they are talking with. After obtaining the serial numbers to the Green Dot cards, the money deposited to the card is immediately removed by the suspect.
No Riverside County Court or Sheriff’s Department employee will ever contact the public and ask for financial information or payment in lieu of attending court proceedings, or to make up for failure to appear for jury duty.

Ask Deputy Myers – Holiday Shopping Safety

Deputy Myers

Deputy Myers

By Deanna Myers, Riverside County Sheriff Department

EASTVALE-With the holidays seemingly in full swing at most of your local retail shopping locations, it is important to think about how to keep yourself, your family, and your recently purchased goodies safe.

The following are some suggestions for your next big shopping trip.

  • Shop during daylight hours whenever possible and try to shop with a friend.
  • Avoid wearing expensive jewelry.
  • Even though you are rushed and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings.
  • Avoid carrying large amounts of cash, if unavoidable. Carry it in your front pocket.
  • Pay for purchases with a check or credit card when possible.
  • Notify the credit card issuer immediately if your credit card is lost, stolen or misused.
  • Avoid carrying a purse or wallet if possible; they are the prime targets of criminals in crowded shopping areas, transportation terminals, bus stops, on buses and other rapid transit.
  • Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.
  • Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of year, “con-artists” may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.
  • If you load your vehicle with purchased items and plan to continue shopping in the area, move your car, if a potential suspect has been watching you, they may wait for you to load your vehicle and walk to the next store, and when you return your items could be gone. Also, never leave packages in plain view, lock them up in your trunk.

Happy shopping, Eastvale!

Eastvale: Ask Deputy Myers

Deputy Myers

By Deanna Myers

 

Q:  Can you do some myth-busting regarding burglar deterrents?

A:  There are some all too popular burglar deterrents many people believe truly work. Whether you have heard them on television, or heard them from an alarm company salesperson, I am here to let you know why they don’t work.

  • Posting alarm company signs in front of your home. I know this is a popular one that the alarm company salesperson will try to sell you on, but in reality, it only serves as a form of advertisement for the alarm company. It can also be used against you by the burglar, by giving them the company name to potentially bypass the system.
  • Hiding valuables in the bedroom (especially the master). Thieves – whether professional or amateur – know people hide their valuables in their bedrooms. Get creative and distribute your valuables in several different locations. This way if one location is found, they will not be able to get everything at once.
  • Leaving the lights on. Burglars often watch a location before they actually hit it. Setting your lights up with a timer to have them turn on and off at different times will keep the burglars guessing. If they don’t know when you are or are not home, they will probably move on to the next location.
  • Getting a big dog. Big dogs may look scary, but it is much more effective having a small dog that barks uncontrollably when they see or hear a stranger.
  • Suspending newspaper delivery. When a burglar notices a change in routine, it is almost always a green light that you are gone and they will have the residence to themselves to burglarize.

Hope these little tips are helpful…stay safe Eastvale!

Eastvale – The Wives of Law Enforcement and Firefighters (WOLFF), local residents, and members of the Eastvale City Council, gathered at the Eastvale Gateway Food Court to show support for law enforcement on Sept. 17 – during the week that law enforcement was being appreciated nationwide.

There was overwhelming support from passersby, as residents lined the sidewalks at the corner of Limonite and Hamner Avenues in Eastvale. 300 plus members of the community wore blue to represent support for Police Officers, while flashing signs and waving American flags.

Neighbors chatted with each other about their love and respect for law enforcement, and children of law enforcement families reveled in showing off the signs they made to support their mothers or fathers who are Police Officers.

Eastvale: Ask Deputy Myers

By Deanna Myers

Deputy Myers

Deputy Myers

Q:  Dear Deputy Myers:  How can I start or join a Neighborhood Watch in my own vicinity?

A:  This question has been a popular one since our National Night Out event held at the Eastvale Gateway on Aug. 11.  There are six basic steps to getting a neighborhood watch program started within your community.

Step 1:  Create Awareness – Start a buzz in the neighborhood about keeping it safe. Many neighbors nowadays, with all the modern technology, have started to disconnect from their neighbors. Communication starts with a wave and a smile, followed by starting to talk about your concern for continued safety within your community.

Step 2:  Organize Volunteers – Once you have started a buzz, neighbors often begin sharing their personal information to become more involved. Gather their information and set up a neighborhood meeting with them.

Step 3:  Coordinate with Law Enforcement – This is where I come in. I will provide a short power point presentation and activity for your neighbors. I will give them the tools they need to combat current issues in the neighborhood and keep those issues from returning.

Step 4:  Identify Concerns, Issues and Problems – Once the group has been formed and they have had time to think about the new tools they have been given, it’s time to discuss where the problems are in your neighborhood. It is best to prioritize the concerns of the volunteers so they can all get addressed in a timely manner.

Step 5:  Develop Strategies – Six heads are better than one. As your group comes together, you can start to come up with ways in which to deal with issues. Having additional people from different backgrounds that come with different resources can be invaluable in eradicating problems in your neighborhood.

Step 6:  Action Steps – Depending on the severity of the problems that arise in your neighborhood, there are several different ways to attack the issues. Planning activities such as clean-up days, neighborhood patrols, and joining social groups such as www.nextdoor.com, are just a few of the ways to bring your neighborhoods closer and keep people involved.

Deanna Myers is the Volunteer and Programs Coordinator for the Jurupa Valley Station of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department that services the Eastvale Police Department.  She has been with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for about eight years, and most recently was assigned to patrol within the City of Eastvale before moving into her current position where she is in charge of the Neighborhood Watch program for the City.

 

If you would like to ask Deputy Myers a question for publication, submit your request via email to editor@anapr.com. Deputy Myers will make the selection from all those submitted each month.

 

Eastvale National Night Out

The City of Eastvale comes together with pride

NNO Collage-CMYK

By K.P. Sander

Eastvale – On Tues., Aug. 11, the Target parking lot in the Gateway Shopping Center was transformed into a “Night Out Against Crime.”  It was the perfect opportunity for residents to become acquainted with the phenomenal individuals that keep our City safe, get a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes, and make new friends while enjoying a sense of community.

Law enforcement, Firefighters, City personnel and a variety of booths dedicated to the betterment of the City were on hand to give an up close and personal glimpse into the resources available to Eastvale.  Big and little kids alike were able to speak with members of the Bomb Squad, SWAT Team, Hazardous Materials Unit, Paramedic Squad, Mounted Posse, K-9 unit, as well as Firefighters and Police Officers. Wide eyes watched as the hook and ladder truck reached for the sky and future Sheriff’s Deputies donned SWAT gear and sat in an assortment of vehicles.

The evening was rounded out with carnival games, face painting, a rock wall and bounce houses full of fun, and it was great to see a wide range of neighbors, City Council and Staff, business owners and people from surrounding communities come together on a unique and memorable night. There is a formidable force working behind the scenes for the City of Eastvale, and we should be proud to know we are in excellent hands.

Eastvale: Shopping Area Special Enforcement

Staff Reports

Eastvale – Over a period of several weeks, the Eastvale Police Department received several calls from residents concerning vehicle burglaries and thefts in the shopping areas located in the area of Hamner Avenue and Limonite Avenue. In response to community concerns, the Eastvale Police Special Enforcement Team (SET) Officers worked closely with Eastvale Patrol Officers and Eastvale Investigators to begin several special enforcement operations in the shopping areas near Limonite Avenue and Hamner Avenue in the city of Eastvale.

Over a period of several weeks, multiple people were taken into custody for various theft and narcotic-related violations. Of those detained, two notable arrests occurred during this enforcement operation.

On June 18, plainclothes Officers witnessed a suspect breaking into a locked vehicle located in an Eastvale shopping center. Officers immediately took that suspect into custody.

On June 22, a suspect was arrested in an Eastvale shopping center for an arrest warrant. That arrest led Officers to a residence in Eastvale, resulting in the confiscation of a large amount of narcotics and the recovery of stolen property that was linked to a theft from a vehicle.

During this operation, Eastvale officers arrested Michael Cole, 29, of Corona, for parole violation; David Arroyo, 19, of Riverside, for possession of a controlled substance and burglary; and Willie Abarca, 40, of Eastvale, for possession of a controlled substance for sales.

The Eastvale Police Department will continue to conduct traditional and plainclothes enforcement in areas where crimes are reported and where enforcement activities are deemed to be most effective.

Anyone with questions regarding these incidents may contact Lieutenant Scott Forbes at the Eastvale Police Department at (951) 955-2600.

Eastvale: DUI-Driver’s License Checkpoint Results

Staff Reports

Eastvale – The Eastvale Police Department conducted a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint on July 17, at Archibald Avenue and River Road, between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.

DUI/Driver’s License checkpoints have been shown to lower DUI deaths and injuries. A major component of these checkpoints are the deterrent effects they have on those who might drive drunk or drugged, bringing about more awareness and encouraging everyone to use sober designated drivers.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Ninety Percent of California drivers approve of checkpoints.

Operation Results:

  • 743 Vehicles passed through the checkpoint
  • 0 DUI arrests
  • 36 Field sobriety tests for DUI of alcohol
  • 7 Citations were issued for unlicensed drivers
  • 2 Citations were issued for suspended driver’s license
  • 22 Citations for miscellaneous vehicle code violations
  • 5 Vehicles towed

Drunk driving is a major cause of fatal and injury collisions each year. Eastvale Police Officers are seeking your assistance in saving lives. If you are on the roadways and you observe a possible drunk driver, call 911 immediately. Officers will be dispatched to the location and make every effort to prevent the impaired driver from continuing to pose a threat.

The Eastvale Police Department wishes to remind you that if you choose to drink alcoholic beverages, please designate a sober driver before getting into a vehicle. Remember “Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest!”
