 Sheriff's
Station
The City has contracted with the Sheriff's
Department for law enforcement services since the City's
incorporation in 1958. Both the City and the County consider
themselves partners in this relationship. With a Sheriff's
Local Station adjacent to City Hall, the community has the
sense of being serviced by its own police department while
benefiting from the cost savings and other efficiencies that
a County contract offers.
Over the years, the City Council's highest priority has been
the safety and security of the City's residents and businesses.
Towards that end, law enforcement has consistently represented
the largest, single expenditure category in the City's budget.
The City supports the following law enforcement programs:
* Problem Specific Policing (PSP) Team
* Operation Safe Streets (OSS)
* Helicopter Patrol
* Gang Crime Suppression Program (GCSP)
* Motorcycle Traffic Enforcement
* Bicycle Apprehension Team (BAT)
* Business License Investigation, Housing Task Force
* Gang Alternative Prevention Program (GAPP)
* Substance Abuse and Narcotics Education (SANE)
* School Attendance Review Board (SARB)
* Family Abuse Intervention and Resources (FAIR)
* Are You OK? (RUOK)
* Operation Kid Print
* Neighborhood Watch
* Business Watch
* Citizen Ride Along Program
* Citizen Academy
* Senior Volunteer Patrol
* Civilian Volunteer Program
* Sheriff's Reserve Program
* Sheriff's Explorer Scout Program
* Safety Through Our Perseverance - Intervention Team (STOP-IT)
* We Tip School Safety Program

 Fire
Department
The City of Pico Rivera contracts with the Los
Angeles County Fire Department for fire prevention, protection
and control, as well as medical and other emergency services.
Calls made to the emergency 9-1-1
number are routed through its command and control operation.
In keeping with its fire prevention and protection responsibilities,
the Fire Department conducts inspections of all buildings
to ensure compliance to fire and life safety regulations.
These inspections are conducted before a building or structure
is occupied and on a regular basis thereafter. It also conducts
investigations of major alarm fires and other fires when mandated
by department policy.
The Fire Department has specially trained personnel who provide
search and rescue services. It responds to calls for emergency
medical services in times of distress. It is also involved
when the safe handling, storage, transportation and disposal
of hazardous materials and wastes are required. The Fire Department
is also involved in technical rescue and disaster response
to the community.
There are three fire stations located in Pico Rivera:
* Station 25-- 9209 Slauson Avenue
* Station 40-- 4864 Durfee Avenue
* Station 103-- 7300 Paramount Boulevard
