SAY NO TO DRUGS 🚫

Last week, our officers went to Bing Wong Elementary for Red Ribbon Week. The officers spoke to the children about the importance of saying no to drugs and how it can impact their lives. Our officers always have fun talking to the youth and encouraging them to stay on the right path.

Thank you, Bing Wong, for the invite!

SWAT GRADUATION 🥳

We want to congratulate and welcome three new members to our SWAT team. These individuals went through an intense 120-hour course at the SBSO SWAT school. They are trained to handle situations that regular first responders can't, making them valuable assets to the SBPD team and the community. Congratulations!

WOMEN’S SELF-DEFENSE CLASS

This class is designed for women who want to learn self-defense and safe firearm handling practices. This will be a safe and fun learning environment. Some of the topics covered in the class will include a presentation regarding situational awareness, potential weapon options, self-defense techniques, and live fi****ms training at the range.

Requirement: Comfortable clothing and a great attitude!

If you would like to register and/or have any questions, please email Sergeant Spriggs at [email protected]

RED RIBBON WEEK

This past Wednesday, our Southern District Officers were invited to attend Red Ribbon Week at Hardy Brown College Prep, and they had a blast! Officers spoke about the awareness of staying drug-free and interacted with the students after school.

BECOME AN EXPLORER 🎉

Our Explorers are always ready for action! They recently attended San Bernardino's Fall Hallelujah Festival, where they offered community information and accepted Explorer applications. They also enjoyed showing their support of the festival and handing out stickers to the local kids.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE UPDATE

The City of San Bernardino has implemented new restrictions on commercial vehicles traveling on Pepper Ave, University Pkwy, and Kendall Dr to enhance public safety and preserve road quality. These restrictions were based on engineering studies and resident complaints. City crews have installed traffic signs informing drivers of the commercial restrictions on the restricted roadways.

SBPD is committed to ensuring commercial vehicles' safety and proper operation on city roadways. For more information, please visit the sbcity.org website @ https://www.sbcity.org/city_hall/public_works/engineering_division/traffic

NOT ON OUR STREETS

Recently, our MET team partnered with local schools to address their concerns directly. One issue expressed was the gang-affiliated graffiti in close vicinity to the schools. The officers took it upon themselves to paint-match and paint over the graffiti. The effort was well worth it, as we saw the excitement of the community members and students first-hand!

PUPPY LOVE 🐶💙

Last Wednesday, we had a great time hosting our annual Dollar For Dogs event, supporting our K9 pups! Our officers enjoyed serving and chatting with our local community, and we had a blast introducing our K9s.
