About two-thirds of all sworn officers work in this division, which focuses on patrolling city streets, answering calls for service, and identifying potential crime problems. Under the Community Service Area Policing program, four dedicated lieutenants and their crews are assigned a specific quadrant of the City and tasked with resolving public safety concerns for residents, neighborhoods, and businesses. This division includes the Traffic Unit, the K-9 Unit, Jail Operations, Reserve Officers, Police Cadets and award-winning SHOP senior volunteers who perform non-hazardous duties to free up sworn officers.

We would like to thank all of our young explorers who worked so hard and represented the City of West Covina and WCPD so well! We would also like to thank Chief Marc Taylor, The West Covina Council members along with all the community businesses and individuals who help support our Police Explorers. Without this valuable support, these young men and woman would not be able to have this experience.

Officer’s Jeff Mosley and Dave Sifling encounter a homeless person sleeping on the concrete floor in a sleeping bag curled up in front of a store at The Heights. When the officers contacted the man, they learned he was a homeless veteran in desperate need.
The man, William Mack had lost his legs do to a bone infection and was dependent on a wheelchair that was by his side. The officers invited Mr. Mack for a cup of coffee and biscuit on them at #Starbucks.
After Mr. Mack shared he was from Florida, where his brother and mother are currently located, officers assisted him with a cell phone to call his family to let them know he was okay. Utilizing additional resources from WCPD, the officers requested Officer Anthony Coppi who works as a H.O.P.E (Homless Outreach) Officer and he assisted with additional resources getting Mr. Mack off the streets, safe and soon, back to his family.
We are proud to announce another promotion of West Covina PD's finest. Officer John Vega has been promoted to the rank of Police Corporal. Chief Marc Taylor made the announcement this morning during day watch briefing in the presence of his crew.
Congratulations John .
