The Mission Valley Regional Command Center (MVRCC) successfully completed 2015 with one of the City ’ s lowest crime rates. This feat was accomplished because of the work of many to include our community, officers, civilians, and detectives. In 2015, the region experienced joyful events and weathered some dark days. We were saddened with the passing of TAC Officer Adrian Arellano in March. His untimely passing was a result of a motorcycle crash while working a funeral escort. We were also proud of longtime MVRCC Commander Victor Zarur who was promoted to Assistant Chief of Police in August 2015. He was a key figure at MVRCC, who over the eight years led the region and promoted quality police service and personal accountability. The personnel at MVRCC endured and overcame these changes through dedication and an unwavering commitment to faithfully serving the community and our city. Despite the dwindling numbers of staff due to retirements, promotions and transfers, Patrol Operations continue to be our strength here at MVRCC. For 10 of the 12 months, Day Shift personnel were selected for recognition as the MVRCC Citizens Advisory Board Officer of the month. The day shift officers demonstrate a strong work ethic and continuous high quality of service to the community of the Mission Valley. These officers were recognized for outstanding arrests, for consistently performing at a high level, by conducting superior preliminary investigations and for showing extreme compassion and kindness to victims of crimes. MVRCC Evening Patrol covered portions of the day considered the busiest. The officers deploy from 1400 - 0000 hours with the busiest peak of the shift from 1700 - 1900. During these peak times, officers respond to a large volume of calls for service, however, make time to engage the community by attending community meetings, visiting convenience stores and patrolling the area. Graveyard shift officers made an arrest on September 21, 2015 reference a burglary of vehicle in progress. It was learned that the person was responsible for twenty two burglaries ending the victimization of many persons living or visiting the Mission Valley area. MVRCC CID/TAC and Special Operations continue producing results with outstanding investigations and arrests through teamwork and proactive enforcement. The personnel at the MVRCC look forward to serving the community through continued partnerships with stakeholders, residents, and visitors of the community.
