As a follow-up engagement to Citygate’s 2021 feasibility analysis regarding City-provided police services, Citygate is currently conducting a study of hybrid public safety models for the City of Jurupa Valley, California. This study will examine hybrid models of public safety services the City may consider in addition to the current contracting model of law enforcement services being provided by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. This will entail reviewing with City staff the existing Sheriff’s Department quality of life service requests and services delivered to determine how the Sheriff’s Department is meeting the City’s current needs, as well as providing five alternative service delivery models, including two mental health response models and three community policing models.

Citygate conducted a feasibility analysis for the City of Jurupa Valley, California, to determine the viability of separating from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and directly providing polices services. Using as a foundation Citygate’s recent police services JPA feasibility assessment, which included the City, Citygate conducted a more in-depth analysis of policing needs in the City, the risks to be protected, and the likely growth, leading to a refined police department size estimation and allowing for a close model of early years operating costs and capital and start-up expense needs. This study also provided a likely conversion-of-services timeline. The end result, in effect, provided the City Council and the community with a police services Master Plan and cost model.
