Problem Oriented Policing Team

Coordinator Sgt. William Mooney

The Problem Oriented Policing (P.O.P) team is a proactive unit with a goal to solve specific problems within the community, whether criminal in nature or a quality of life issue. The unit uses traditional and non-traditional methods of law enforcement to resolve the issues that are a concern to each of the communities in Moreno Valley. The unit works with the citizens, property owners, the City, Fire Department, Code Compliance, City Attorney, U.S. Attorney, etc. in order to abate problems that arise. The P.O.P team consists of one supervising Sergeant, one corporal, eight sworn officers and two non-sworn officers.

Following is a list of some of the programs the P.O.P. team offers the community.

• Safe Streets Now
  This program was developed to outline steps to sue an owner of a property that is a public nuisance under the California Civil Code. The police are not a party to this civil action but they assist in mobilizing the neighborhood and assisting the citizens in the implementation of the civil action.
  
• Crime Free Multi-Housing
  This is a program that recognizes the owner's responsibility for what happens on his/her property. The P.O.P. team conducts periodic training for property owners making them aware of their responsibility and teaching them how to maintain safe housing units in three separate stages.
• S.N.A.P.
  The Sheriff's Nuisance Abatement Program's goal is to rid the community of nuisance properties. This is accomplished through voluntary compliance by the owner to abide by existing laws and codes. If compliance can not be obtained, three consequences can follow. First, a fine can be imposed. Second, the property can be closed. Finally, as a last resort if compliance is not achieved, proceedings can be initiated through the City Attorney, District Attorney or U.S. Attorney to seize the property from the owner.
