A Day in the Park
On Saturday, May 20th we celebrated our inaugural
A Day in the Park Event at La Sierra Park. The purpose of the event was to
showcase the great recreational and volunteer opportunities that exist in our
city and it was a chance for community organizations to share resources and
information.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my
gratitude to all of our participants and attendees who made this event a
success! We look forward to next year’s A Day in the Park Celebration!
Riverside Police Department Employees of the Year:
Please join me in congratulating
Cory Camp as the Riverside Police Department’s Officer of the Year and
Antoinette Alexander as the Department’s Civilian Employee of the Year.
Cory Camp has been working as the
POP Officer in the West NPC and in addition to the many miscellaneous tasks
required for that position has made a great number of felony arrests. His
exceptional work ethic has been noticed by many Riverside residents, community
groups, businesses, and the Ward 6 and 7 council members. Cory is an
asset to the City of Riverside and commended for his great work in the West
NPC.
Antoinette Alexander has been the
Department’s Police Service Representative (PSR) for the western part of
Riverside for the last 25 years to serve as a liaison between the Police
Department and the community. Antoinette facilitates
the creation and maintenance of Neighborhood and Business Watch programs,
attends various community events, partners with Alvord Schools for various
youth or school events, provides information to the public or assists them in
their inquiries, and does presentations on various safety issues. She
is a member of COPS & Clergy and has been recognized a number of times for
exemplary service, including by the Latino Network. Antoinette has worked for multiple Area Commanders but
maintained a constant presence and relationship with many individuals, groups,
schools, and businesses in the Arlanza, La Sierra and Riverwalk
communities. Antoinette is commended not just for the last year of work
but for a career of community service to the City of Riverside.

Public Safety Fair- Galleria at Tyler:
When: Friday, June 2nd, 2017
Time: 1:00-5:00 pm
Location: Galleria at Tyler- North Parking lot along Magnolia
Fireworks:
In preparation of the upcoming 4th
of July celebration, I would like to take an opportunity to remind residents
Fireworks are ILLEGAL in the City of Riverside. This year fines have increased
to $1,000 dollars and additional expenses may be incurred if found in
possession of fireworks.
I encourage residents to report
any firework activity as it can assist our public safety officers to focus on
particular areas.
Councilman Perry and I have
worked to secure the La Sierra Park Firework show for this year and more.
