Message from Chief McElvain
Over this past year, the Perris Station continued to serve the cities of Perris, Canyon Lake, and Menifee, as well as the unincorporated county communities surrounding the station (e g , Mead Valley, Gavilan Hills, Lake Mathews, Woodcrest, Romoland) In all, the station boundaries encompass about 190 square miles, and our station has the satisfaction of serving more than 200,000 people.
Today, the Station is staffed with 158 sworn deputies and 36 classified employees In spite of the ever-increasing challenge to overcome the adversity of diminishing resources, and the steady demand for service, staff members and volunteers of the Perris Station rose to the occasion through this past year. As I reflect on the many things accomplished this past year, I find that it is a true blessing to be a part of this great team.
Let me take a moment to highlight our crime statistics, which most people are interested in. I am pleased to report that we have maintained our crime control model strategy, which has proven to be an effective means for monitoring crime trends and efficiently employ our resources. This past year, as a whole, we all benefitted from a 7.8% decrease in crime Violent crime decreased by more than 14.5%, and property crime fell by 6.5%. More detailed information on crime statistics is provided in the 2010 Annual Report.
Before closing out this message, I want to express my gratitude for the more than 200 men and women volunteers that have continued to serve the Perris Station and our communities As the economy continually proves to be an obstacle to our ability to fund additional positions, we have greatly beneᴀtted from the generosity of time provided by our volunteers their assistance in our Business Office, Investigations Bureau, Logistics Unit, and the field has not gone unnoticed their energy, persistence, world experience, and unique personalities have enhanced the character of the Perris Station. We are all better served because of them.
Throughout 2011, staff from the Perris Station will increase our efforts to recruit volunteers and reserve deputy sheriffs to serve within each of our communities. Whether you are interested in serving in the capacity as a member of "Crime Watch / Citizens Patrol" patrolling the streets, or assisting in a number of functions within our station, we have plenty of opportunities to make use of your experience and talents.
It is with great honor that I am given this opportunity to serve each of you.

Megan's Law: Public Sex Offender Information
In 1995, a convicted child molester was arrested for the murder and rape of 7 year-old Megan Kanka in a New Jersey suburb. The offender lived across the street from the Kanka residence. The Police Department was prohibited from disclosing the presence of the child molester because at the time, the law did not allow the release of the sex offender information to the public.
The law was changed to permit the release of this information to the public and on May 8, 1996, President Clinton signed the law, dubbed "Megan's Law" in remembrance of little Megan Kanka. The California State Legislature signed California's version of Megan's Law into effect on September 25, 1996. This law was implemented to allow potential victims to protect themselves and allow parents to protect their children.
