 * Police Department:**

The City of Loma Linda does not have it's own police department, but rather has a contract with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. There is no police station, but the officers patrol the city and respond to dispatch and suspicious behavior. In addition to the officers on patrol, the city offers a "Citizens on Patrol" program, in which volunteer citizens are able to patrol Loma Linda. Volunteers must undergo some training, a background check, an interview, and attend a monthly meeting. The city also has a neighborhood watch program.

Upon request, residents can have extra patrol for their house when on vacation or for their neighborhood if there is suspicious activity.

Emergencies are responded to by calling 911. Non-emergencies can be handled through the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

The website offers crime statistics, information on crime statistics of LLU Medical Center, and a list of registered sex-offenders.

The city of Loma Linda's fire department offers both fire and medical emergency services. The firehouse holds 2 structure engines and a ladder truck that can pump 2,000 gallons of water a minute.

On duty during a 24 hour shift are 2 captains, 2 engineers, 2 firefighter/paramedics, and 2 firefighters.

As the majority of the 911 calls made in Loma Linda are medically-related, the fire department added a paramedic program in 2000. Now the department responds to every 911 call with at least one firefigher/paramedic.

Services offered by the Loma Linda fire department include emergency response and rescue, as well as fire inspections, fire investigations, disaster preparedness training, CPR/first aid classes, and hydrant testing. They also offer tours to schools to educate students about the firehouse.
