Community Engagement Team (CET)
At the Ontario Police Department, we believe in the power of collaboration and open communication between law enforcement and the communities we serve. Our Community Engagement Team works directly with residents, local organizations, schools, businesses, and other stakeholders to foster positive relationships, enhance trust, and ensure a safer environment for everyone.
The Community Engagement Team is dedicated to creating meaningful connections and open dialogues between the police department and the community. By being proactive, transparent, and approachable, we aim to reduce crime, address concerns, and improve the quality of life for all residents. Together, we can build a community where people feel safe, valued, and heard.
