Dear Friends, Mayor’s Message

For many, a new year is a do over – a chance to WINTER / SPRING 2018
make amends for the past, only to find out that the
challenges you struggled with the year before haven’t
gone away.
I’m with those who prefer a more pragmatic approach
– to confront those challenges with even more vigor
while relishing the successes that are right in front
of us.
As we’ve flipped the calendar to 2018, Rialto is better positioned than ever to
meet the demand that a community of our size is going to face. The economic
development initiatives we’ve put in place in recent years are creating bold new
opportunities for businesses and for job seekers. We’ve invested in infrastructure
improvements and we’ve made sure the quality of services you receive from city
government meet your expectations.
None of this is easy, especially in California – a state with a history of putting
greater responsibility on the backs of cities even as it takes away our resources.
The loss of redevelopment financing a few years back sent many local government
entities to the brink of insolvency – something we’ve been able to avoid in Rialto
through the hard work of our city hall team and the unbending support of our
community.
We face more economic challenges in 2018, and once again will be asking for your
support. In the meantime, rest assured that we are doing everything in our power
to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible and will leave no stone unturned
in our commitment to our residents and business community.
We’ll also celebrate our successes, as we do in this and future issues of
“Rialto Progress” by recognizing those students who are achieving so much while
giving us so much to be hopeful for in the future.
The new year is upon us, and I’m excited to see all that we’ll accomplish together.

Deborah Robertson

Chief’s Message Message

FROM THE CHIEF

As a community reminder, Chief Kling previously
served the City of Rialto from 2006 to 2011.

Interim Police Chief It is once again an honor to lead the hard-working women and
Mark P. Kling men of the Rialto Police Department and represent this wonderful
community. Over the next several months, the police department

will continue hosting the “Coffee with the Chief” monthly

meetings at local businesses. I look forward to meeting and discussing police department

operations and community concerns with those in attendance. The “Coffee with the Chief”

meetings are a wonderful opportunity for interacting with not only the police chief, but also

members of the Rialto police department. If you have not taken advantage of these informal

community discussions, I personally invite you to attend. Additional information about

Coffee with the Chief meetings can be found on the City of Rialto and Rialto Police Department

websites. 

During the coming months the police department will be hosting area command meetings
at various locations throughout the City. I strongly encourage home and business owners
to attend one of these informational meetings. Rialto Police Department personnel will be
available to address community concerns and answer questions. Area Command meetings
are a great way to network with neighbors and local businesses to learn about important
police-community partnerships.

www.rialtoca.gov Additional information about the Rialto Police Department, police programs, and assistance
can be found on the Rialto Police Department’s website at www.rialtopd.com.

On behalf of the Rialto Police Officers and Employees, we look forward to serving you this
Winter/Spring 2018.
