Moreno Valley Police will be watching next Wednesday as more than 50,000 students in Moreno Valley head back to school. They'll be looking for
bad driving
that could put children at risk.
Here are a few safety tips to help prevent accidents.
- Drive with headlights ON to be seen. Cars, especially hybrids and electrics, can’t always be heard.
- Slow down. Driving 20 or 25 miles per hour may seem slow, but not when a kindergartner darts in front of you.
- Avoid school zones unless you’re dropping off or picking up.
- Don’t have your children jaywalk. If you drop off or pick up on the far side of the street, have children walk to the nearest crosswalk.
- Let children in or out of the car on the sidewalk side, not the traffic side.

In the past year, the Public Works Department has cleared an amazing
585 dump-truck loads of weeds from non-landscaped areas
, such as those next to sidewalks. That was possible because the department's Weed and Litter Abatement is a seven-day-a-week priority. Public Works crews are on the job during the week, and on the weekends, crews of workers fulfilling their Riverside County community service requirement take over.
The City also offers residents the chance to help keep MoVal beautiful through the
“Adopt-a-Road” and “Sponsor-a-Street” programs
.
Call 951-413-3109
to learn how you can help.

When you suffer a medical emergency, the first few minutes can be critical to survival. And since police are often the first to respond in such a situation, it makes sense to give them the tools that can
keep a patient alive until medical techs arrive
.
Through a partnership among Moreno Valley Fire, Office of Emergency Management and MVPD, some officers now carry Automated External Defibrillators that analyze a patient's heart rhythm and deliver a stabilizing jolt of electricity if needed. Here, officers learn how to use the new lifesaving equipment.

A community emergency is NOT something you want to be the LAST to know about! MoVal's Office of Emergency Management urges all residents and businesses to register for
Alert MoVal, the City’s own Emergency Alert and Warning Notification System
.
In the event of a disaster situation, such as evacuation, fire, flood, or emergency road closure, Alert MoVal will call or text you important information and updates. When registering for Alert MoVal, you can choose how you want to be alerted, by text, phone call to landline or cell phone, or email.
