COVID-19 Testing
“Testing continues to be an important driver in our public health response, as well as the county’s reopening process,”said Vice Chair Karen Spiegel, Second District Supervisor. “Everyone should consider getting tested. It’s free and it helps show that we are a healthy county.”
Testing at the county-run sites is open to anyone, whether they have symptoms or not, and there are
no out-of-pocket costs
to individuals. Participants will be asked to provide information about their health insurance, but they will not be charged any share of costs or copay, and will be allowed to get tested even if they do not provide the insurance information. You must have an appointment to get tested.
As of mid-June, more than 160,000 Riverside County residents have been tested at the 16 total community test sites, along with screenings at clinics, hospitals, private labs and other locations.

CHIEF'S CORNER - Independence Day
The 4th of July is upon us! So are fireworks and more importantly, so is fire season! We’ve experienced a high increase in calls regarding firework activity over the last several weeks, including a vegetation fire that is suspected to have been caused by illegal firework use.
The Beaumont Police Department is urging residents to observe a safe, legal and fire-free holiday. Right now, as is usually the case in our area, the very real threat of wildfire is extremely high and everyone must do everything they can to keep our community safe.
Residents are advised that all fireworks are illegal in the City of Beaumont and anyone caught lighting or possessing even “safe and sane” fireworks in the City may be cited and fined.
Also, anyone found responsible for setting a fire using any type of fireworks will be responsible for paying for property damage, suppression costs and may face more serious consequences. This liability also applies to parents of juveniles found responsible for causing a fire.
The Beaumont Police Department wishes the community a memorable 4th of July and requests a common sense, safe celebration. We encourage anyone reporting firework activity to refrain from dialing 911, instead please report activity to our 24/7 business line at 951-769-8500. Also, please be prepared to provide an address or specific location for officers to respond to.

Chief of Police
