In another step to improve the quality of life in neighborhoods that were impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, Councilman Francisco Moya and city agencies unveiled a new Parks Enforcement Patrol (PEP) sub-station at Park of the Americas in Corona.

Moya designated funding that will include PEP officers patrolling in and around the parks in the neighborhood.

“The work to improve quality of life continues and I am incredibly proud to be standing here in the very playground where I grew up to announce the funding I am bringing to have a Parks Enforcement Patrol unit based here in Park of the Americas,” Moya said. “The PEP officers will now have a presence in the community to help us address quality-of-life issues, especially at a time when we need our parks the most as we recover from COVID-19. We all deserve safer and cleaner parks we can enjoy and this is another step towards that.”
