Corona Police Department
If a loved one, a family member or you have been arrested by or are being investigated by the Corona Police Department, it can cause a lot of anxiety, mostly just from uncertainty of what will happen or can happen. Moreover, one is dependent upon the honesty, accuracy and competence of a police officer, who may or may not be experienced or have the same sense of urgency as you in having the police report properly written.
Facing such a situation, knowing the bail amount (if any) associated with the offense or offenses at issue if police deny an own recognizance (OR) release may help relieve some anxiety. It is also prudent to know what evidence is needed to convict one for the crime or crimes that allegedly took place, the defenses possible and the sentence a judge can impose if one is convicted of the crime or crimes.
We at Greg Hill & Associates believe it is well worth one’s time to know a few more things before interacting with any branch of law enforcement. It can help to know the size of the police or sheriff’s department, the area’s demographics, a bit of history about the town, city or area, and the most common types of crimes the department investigates to make one’s communication with law enforcement more meaningful, more savvy and perhaps, more respectful. This can lead to a better outcome than if one lacks such perspective.
This article is presented with these goals in mind.
The Corona Police Department is a large station with over 164 sworn police officers 85 civilian staff personnel.
The Corona Police Department is responsible for patrolling the City of Corona, a city of 39.96 square miles and has a population of 157,136 as of 2020.
The city of Corona has been popular among celebrities drawn to its upscale areas and relative privacy compared to Los Angeles. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz spent time at their ranch, located in north Corona, and played golf often at the Cresta Verde Golf Course in the northeastern section of the city. After their divorce, Arnaz continued to live in Corona.
In recent years Corona has been known as the "Gateway to the Inland Empire." High real estate prices in Los Angeles and Orange counties made the area's land desirable to developers and industrialists, and by the late 1990s Corona was considered a major suburb of Los Angeles." Many people commute into Los Angeles County for work.
Monster Beverage and Circle K are headquartered in Corona.
For arrests along State Route 71 (called the Corona Freeway), State Route 91 (called the Riverside or Artesia Freeway) and the I-15 crossing Corona, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) will normally handle this work, although one may be thereafter transported to the Corona Police Department for processing, a breath test (if a DUI) and booking. The person may also be held at the Corona jail until bail is posted or the person is transferred to the Riverside County Jail, also called the Robert Presley Detention Center in downtown Riverside.
As of 2020, the city’s population was 31.73% non-Hispanic white, 11.76% Asian, 5.18% African American and 46.51% Hispanic.
During 2009–2013, Corona had a median household income of $77,123, with 10.8% of the population living below the federal poverty line.
Most cases arising out of the Corona Police Department’s areas of responsibility are brought at the Riverside Hall of Justice at 4100 Main Street in downtown Riverside.
Over the last 25 years, our office has handled perhaps 5 cases, all DUI’s arising out the Corona Police Station and brought in the Riverside Courthouse.
We find that locals to the Corona area often distrust local criminal defense attorneys as being social friends with prosecutors and judges, so they are unwilling to fight too hard to preserve their friendships, so we are hired instead because we are not from Corona and presumably have no such ties or loyalties.
