Measure P revenue is enabling our public safety personnel to be more proactive including a greater emphasis on traffic safety.  With additional personnel, the Victorville Police Department has been able to conduct more traffic enforcement on our local streets.  Last year, our Police Department issued 4,806 traffic citations, double the number of citations issued in 2019. We appreciate the Victorville Police Department's dedicated service and commitment to our community.

Join us in congratulating the winners of our Public Works Day Essay Contest: Johnny Bean from Endeavor School of Exploration, Sopheya Stocker from West Palms, and Bellalisan Maravilla from Mojave Vista.  Each student wrote about what they learned from our Public Works Day.  They were introduced to various City careers and how our Public Works Crews maintain our City infrastructure and work to improve our quality of life. 

This week, our Victorville City Council recognized the recipients of our new Aviation Technology scholarships sponsored by the City of Victorville and the Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA).  The full-ride scholarships were awarded to Yoaquin Yabrough and Edward Seniukriva, students in Victor Valley College’s Aviation Maintenance Technology program.  We are pleased to recognize both students for this outstanding achievement. The new scholarships are part of the City’s effort to develop a skilled workforce to work for SCLA tenant companies and to contribute to our local aviation industry.
