🐾 Happy National Police K-9 Day! 🐾

National Police K-9 Day is celebrated each year on September 1 to honor police K-9s and remember those who gave their lives in the line of duty.

Today, we thank our CPD K-9s, Drew and Pria, and all of our former CPD K-9s for their dedicated service to our community!

Now that school is back in session, the Claremont Police Department will be enforcing traffic laws in each of the school zones to ensure the safety of students, staff, and parents. Drivers must be especially vigilant before and after school hours when children are walking and riding their bikes.

Here are several recommendations on ways drivers can help to keep our kids safe:

🕖Give yourself plenty of time to get to school and drop off your child. Rushing can cause unsafe behavior and speeding.
✋Slow down. The speed limit in school zones is 25 mph.
🛑Come to a complete stop at stop signs. Before proceeding, carefully check for children on the sidewalks and in the crosswalks.
🚙Drop off and pick up your kids in your school’s designated areas, not the middle of the street. Every vehicle has blind spots. Please check for children on sidewalks, in driveways, and around your vehicle before proceeding.
🚴‍♀️Watch for children on bicycles. Slow down when passing bicyclists and allow at least three feet between your vehicle and the bicyclist. Please ensure that your child wears a helmet while riding their bicycle to school.
📱Stay alert and put your phone away. Using a handheld electronic device while driving is against the law.
🗣Talk to your teen about vehicle safety. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States.

Please remember to follow all school drop-off and pick-up procedures. Claremont Police Officers will be patrolling the school zones and the streets surrounding the Claremont school zones to remind drivers to drive safely. We are looking forward to a safe and healthy school year for students, staff, and parents!

Please join us in congratulating CPD’s three newest Corporals!

🔸Corporal Vargas
🔸Corporal Torres
🔸Corporal Limon

Corporal Vargas joined CPD in 2021 after serving eight years in the United States Marine Corps, where he attained the rank of sergeant. His strong work ethic and commitment to professional growth led him to become a motor officer in 2023 and a field training officer in 2024. He also completed the rigorous training required to serve as a SWAT operator with the Foothill Special Enforcement Team.

Corporal Torres began his law enforcement career as a Riverside County sheriff’s deputy in 2020 before trading his tan and green uniform for CPD blue. Before entering law enforcement, he served in the United States Army. Known for remaining calm under pressure, Torres serves on the department’s Use of Force Team as a hobble restraint instructor. He became a field training officer in 2025 and a fi****ms instructor earlier this year.

Corporal Limon began his law enforcement career in 2022 after graduating from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Academy. His proactive police work has resulted in numerous fi****ms and illegal drugs being removed from our streets. After joining the department’s Drug Recognition Expert program, he made more than 100 DUI arrests in 2025 - the most recorded by a single CPD officer in one calendar year. His peers selected him as CPD’s 2025 Officer of the Year, and earlier this year, he became a field training officer.

All three officers successfully completed a challenging promotional process alongside several peers and earned promotion to corporal.

Congratulations, Corporals Vargas, Torres, and Limon! Thank you for your leadership, hard work, and continued dedication to the Claremont Police Department and the community we serve.

Training for Our Community’s Safety

Yesterday, our Foothill Special Enforcement Team (FSET) came together for vital training exercises in the sweltering heat. These photos showcase not just the intensity of training, but the commitment our officers have to ensuring the safety of our community.

The skills we develop during training directly enhance our patrol operations, improving our officers ability to make good decisions in high-pressure situations.

Our training included hostage negotiators, who specialize in de-escalating critical incidents through effective communication, ensuring the safety of all involved.

Evidence shows that well-trained tactical units contribute to lower crime rates and fewer injuries, creating a safer community for everyone.

FSET works hand-in-hand with other agencies, promoting teamwork and resource sharing, which strengthens our overall response to emergencies.

Every drill and scenario prepares us to protect and serve effectively.
