Call Community Patrol or 911?
Residents are reminded to always call 911 for anything that is an emergency or if in need of “immediate response” be it law enforcement or fire.
For non-emergency incidents that pertain to the law and duties carried out by peace officers, residents should call the non-emergency police dispatch line, not Community Patrol. Community Pa- trol does not have the same authority as peace officers. They are not allowed to detain or handcuff people, carry weap- ons or make arrests. Community Patrol will assist Canyon Lake Police Depart- ment/Riverside County Sheriffs Depart- ment but are not authorized to take the place of police during certain criminal activities.
