Citygate completed a police service analysis for the City of Rancho Cucamonga to assist in evaluating the current police services provided to the City by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, as well as other potential service options. The scope of the study included evaluating how the current contract compares to similarly situated cities that also contract for law enforcement services; if establishing an in-house police department is feasible, considering start-up and ongoing operational costs; whether there are viable law enforcement agencies in the region that could provide law enforcement services or partners to form a Joint Powers Authority; and whether there is a tipping point beyond which the City should consider a police services alternative.
