About crime reduction in our city
Lake Elsinore is a safe community as crime continues to decline. Between 2000 and 2001, crime in Lake Elsinore has been reduced by 3%. Community oriented policing, crime-free multi-housing, Neighborhood Watch and other cooperative programs are proven deterrents to crime in our city.

City police protection and the Lake Elsinore safety patrol are provided under contract by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Feel free to contact the department, or visit our Lake Elsinore office at the address below.

Before you call...
For best customer service, please select the appropriate phone number from the list below.
Note that LEPD police dispatch is centralized through the Riverside County Sheriff's Department and not through the local station. Please do not call the general information station phone number to request dispatch or emergency service.

For non-emergency dispatch calls, be prepared to listen and select from an automated system directory before your call is transferred to a dispatch operator. Because all dispatch calls are prioritized, any high priority calls that come in may "bump" lower priority calls, causing delays in response time.
