Message from Chief McElvain
The Perris Station is home to more than 170 sworn deputies and 53 classified employees serving the unincorporated county communities surrounding the station (e.g., Mead Valley, Gavilan Hills, Lake Matthews, Woodcrest, Romoland), and the cities of Perris, Canyon Lake, and Menifee. In sum, the station serves
nearly 190,000 people, and covers roughly 190 square miles.
During this past year, members of the Perris Station set out to develop and implement a crime control model of policing based on our established Zones (i.e., geographical patrol areas). Essentially, this model is based on the following five principles: operate with specific objectives (i.e., crime prevention and reduction); use of timely and accurate intelligence (i.e., data analysis and effective communication), employ effective strategies and tactics based on the identified and emerging crime trends; ensure rapid deployment
of personnel and resources (i.e., putting deputies when and where crime occurs); and, encourage relentless follow-up and assessment (i.e., accountability at all levels of the station).
In review of the most recent California Department of Finance Estimates for population, each of our communities increased in size this past year. At the same time, with one exception crime decreased.
Despite the many challenges that we all continue to face, each member of the Perris Station continues to rise to the occasion each day as they work with our community and civic partners. For this reason, I am honored to be a part of this team that serves each of your communities.

Megan's Law: Public Sex Offender Information
In 1995, a convicted child molester was arrested for the murder and rape of 7 year-old Megan Kanka in a New Jersey suburb. The offender lived across the street from the Kanka residence. The Police Department was prohibited from disclosing the presence of the child molester because at the time, the law did not allow the release of the sex offender information to the public.
The law was changed to permit the release of this information to the public and on May 8, 1996, President Clinton signed the law, dubbed "Megan's Law" in remembrance of little Megan Kanka. The California State Legislature signed California's version of Megan's Law into effect on September 25, 1996. This law was implemented to allow potential victims to protect themselves and allow parents to protect their children.
