Moreno Valley, like other communities, experiences periodic increases in the occurrence of crime. This is concerning to you, and it's concerning to us.
When this occurs in our community, the City Council, City Management and our Police Department work closely to understand the types of incidents taking place and whether any specific steps can be taken to increase our residents' safety and peace of mind.
We also recognize that in some instances, certain crimes are not preventable...even if our Police Department had even more resources than it does now. Click here for more information. |

Residents throughout the City of Moreno Valley are invited to join in with thousands of communities nationwide for the 31st Annual National Night Out (NNO) on August 5th. The Chief of Police, other City leaders and Moreno Valley Police Department Officers will be visiting the three NNO locations coordinated by official Neighborhood Watch neighborhoods. The event runs from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
The following event locations are open to the public:
- Neighborhood site, 24707 Conley Ct.
- Honey Hollow Elementary School, 11765 Honey Hollow
- Il Sorrento Senior Gated Community, 23820 Ironwood Ave.
NNO is designed to generate support for anti-crime programs such as Neighborhood Watch and heighten gang and drug prevention awareness. It also serves to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and won't tolerate their presence. "Crime prevention is a community effort and getting to know your neighbors is a great place to start" said Moreno Valley Police Chief Joel Ontiveros. |

Keep Cool! Protect Your Health
The Moreno Valley Fire Department would like to encourage you to stay cool this summer and avoid heat related medical emergencies by following these tips:
- Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat or use an umbrella for shade.
- Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose clothing.
- Slow down-rest in the shade or a cool place when possible.
- Never leave a child, elderly, disabled person, or animal
 alone in a vehicle. - Check on your friends and neighbors who are elderly, have medical conditions, or are at higher risk for problems when it is very hot.
- Take a cool shower or bath.
- Turn on your air conditioner when it is hotter than 90˚, visit a friend who has air conditioning, or go someplace cool like a Cool Center, a mall, a library or a senior center.
- If you do not have an air conditioner, use a fan, make sure your windows are open, or visit a Cool Center. The Moreno Valley Senior Center is also a Cool Center.

 "Un-power" Hours are Noon to 6 p.m.
The hottest part of the day is also the time when energy demand is at its highest - from 12 PM to 6 PM. Here are simple ways that the City of Moreno Valley and the Community Energy Partnership* encourage you to reduce your energy usage during peak hours to help you save when it counts most:
- Keep the thermostat on your A/C set to 78ºF.
- Use your washer, dryer and dishwasher only during off-peak hours, preferably when they're full.
- Make sure coffee pots, radios and other electronics have been switched off or are unplugged when not in use.
- Turn off your computer screen saver (it wastes power by keeping your computer active).
- Set your computer to turn your monitor off after 10 minutes of non-use and your hard drive after 20 minutes.
- Devices such as laptops can run on battery power during the day and then be recharged at night. Don't forget to unplug when not charging.
- Not using your oven during warmer temperatures will help your air conditioner work less to cool your home.
- The state of California may issue a Flex Alert - an urgent call to conserve energy immediately. When you hear a Flex Alert, save electricity NOW by turning off unnecessary lights and following any of the tips mentioned here.

Water Safety
With the warm weather upon us, it is important to stay vigilant around children and adults alike while enjoying activities involving bathing and swimming at a pool, river, lake or beach. For children younger than five, drowning is a leading cause of injury, or lifelong disability and it is the leading cause of accidental death. As toddlers begin walking and exploring, statistics show an alarming rate of pool and other drowning's. For tips on how to keep your kids safe, please visit our website.
Snake Awareness and Safety
The days are long, temperatures are hot, and many different wild animals are out in search of food. One in particular, is the rattlesnake. Snakes are active animals that are commonly seen in urban areas. Now is the time to raise awareness levels and pay close attention when outdoors during this summer season.
