The City Council meeting held on August 25, 2025, in Yucaipa, California, focused on public safety updates, including crime statistics and community policing efforts.

The safety report for July 2025 revealed a total of 3,659 calls for service, marking an increase of nearly 500 calls compared to June. Despite this rise, the average response time to emergency calls remained steady at three minutes. The report highlighted that peak call times occurred from Sunday to Tuesday afternoons.

In terms of crime, the report noted one robbery, which is categorized as a county issue, alongside 22 aggravated assaults, 7 burglaries, and 18 thefts, including 2 motor vehicle thefts. The police made 95 arrests in July, with 63 of those being adult bookings. The most frequent offenses included narcotics-related crimes, warrant arrests, trespassing, and domestic violence incidents.

Traffic enforcement was also addressed, with 145 traffic citations issued and 15 traffic accident investigations conducted. Additionally, there were 2 DUI arrests and 3 operations under the Office of Traffic Safety.

The solution-oriented policing team reported handling 33 transient calls for service, a decrease from 33 complaints in June to just 6 in July via the Yucaipa app. The team assisted 5 individuals and conducted around 40 park patrols and vacant property checks. They also collaborated with local business owners and executed code enforcement drone flights to identify illegal firework activity, resulting in 3 citations.

Notably, the 2025 point-in-time count indicated a significant decrease in homelessness, with only 4 unsheltered individuals reported, a 70% reduction from the previous year.

The meeting concluded without further questions from council members, and the fire department's chief, who was deployed on a strike team in Fresno County, was acknowledged for his absence.
