MESSAGE FROM CAPTAIN ROBERT SMITH
Within the Rancho San Diego (RSD) Command are the Rancho San Diego Station, along with the Lemon Grove and Imperial Beach Contract City Substations. The Rancho San Diego Command has a very diverse population of about 190,300 and covers approximately 150 square miles. Covering the two contract cities, as well as all the unincorporated areas from the international border, north to Mt. Helix and east to the Cleveland National Forrest, the RSD Command is committed to providing the highest level of law enforcement services to keep our communities safe. Captain Smith's message to his staff is to treat all people as you would expect and hope any member of your family would be treated during a law enforcement encounter; fairly and professionally.
RSD station has a dedicated team that includes 81 sworn employees, 1 Crime Analyst, 2 Crime Prevention Specialists, 2 Community Service Officers and 7 Professional Staff members. RSD fully embraces and implements the Information Led Policing (ILP) law enforcement business model. Every quarter RSD station hosts an IMPACT meeting to develop an ILP project to target known and prolific offenders and identify crime trends in the region. As crime knows no jurisdictional boundaries, our neighboring allied agencies and various task force members regularly attend those meetings in order to develop a more comprehensive strategy to reduce crime in all our communities.
Patrol
Patrol deputies respond to calls for service, 24 hours a day. Each deputy is assigned to a geographical beat, which enables the deputies to become familiar with the residents in their assigned areas and with the challenges shared by the community. The beat system is a cornerstone of the community oriented policing concept, requiring collaborative interaction between neighborhood residents and their deputies. Patrol deputies also actively participate in the community, attending Neighborhood Watch meetings and making presentations to youth groups, service groups and schools.

traffic enforcement in the unincorporated areas
