A Message from the City Manager | |
|
Greetings –
I am proud to share that we cut the ribbon last week on renovations that expanded the Sheriff Station in Old Town Temecula and made room for Temecula's newly formed 11-member METRO Team comprised of a Sergeant, Corporal, Community Service Officer, and eight Deputies including two Motorcycle Deputies. The purpose of the METRO Team is to ensure that a safe environment for residents, businesses, and visitors is continuously maintained throughout Old Town Temecula.
The METRO Team is part of the City's strategy to preserve Old Town's charm and family-friendly atmosphere. This strategy is also reflected in the City of Temecula’s Quality of Life Master Plan in our Core Value #1 (A Safe and Prepared Community). This specialized community-oriented policing team's overall mission is to maintain public safety with engagement that includes foot patrol, bicycle patrol, bar checks, and networking with business owners, patrons, and residents. Old Town continues to be a popular destination for local entertainment, and our community expects a safe environment with zero tolerance for criminal behavior, which is exactly what Temecula’s Sheriff Captain Chris Durham has tasked the METRO Team to deliver.
The METRO Team’s significant presence of law enforcement is visible in Old Town; an area conducive to community oriented patrols and establishing relationships with businesses and residents in Old Town. Feel free to say hello to them next time you are in Old Town. You can read more about the METRO Team here.
-Aaron Adams, City Manager
