The Fallbrook Substation serves an area of nearly 140 square miles
which includes the unincorporated
communities of Fallbrook, Bonsall, De Luz and Rainbow.
The department's largest substation provides a wide array of services for the community
including gang enforcement, COPPS projects,
investigations and more.
Fallbrook residents identify strongly with its
small-town image and are committed to helping to
preserve Fallbrook’s “friendly village” atmosphere. Many of the residents are active in local issues.
Residents can become involved in many community-oriented activities, groups
and projects to help prevent crime. The substation is committed to their continuous
partnership established with the residents to reduce
crime in the community.
PATROL
Patrol deputies respond to calls for service, patrol the
community, conduct preliminary investigations, attend
community events such as Neighborhood Watch meetings and
make presentations to youth groups and schools.
All patrol deputies are trained in the COPPS (Community
Oriented Policing and Problem Solving) philosophy. Using
these principals, deputies analyze community problems
and employ strategic plans in order to solve problems.
DETECTIVES
Detectives are responsible for investigating
all general crime cases and arrests made by patrol
deputies. If the detective assigned to the case
determines that there is enough evidence to prove a
specific person or persons committed a crime, the case
will be forwarded to the San Diego District Attorney's Office.
The DA's office will review the case and determine if the
case is suitable for criminal prosecution.
