We improve the quality of life for everyone in Chula Vista through proactive involvement with the community.
Our Mission
The Mission of the Chula Vista Police Activities League is to support and inspire the lives of underserved and at-risk youth living in and/or attending school in the City of Chula Vista through financial support, educational scholarships, encouragement and mentorship.
About Chula Vista
Public safety is a top priority. Chula Vista is the second largest city in San Diego and one of the safest cities in the entire region. From 2007 – 2011, violent crime, property crime, and the overall crime rate in the community declined, dropping more than 32 percent in each category. Chula Vista is one of the safest cities in San Diego County.
The best defense against crime is embracing the community and engaging residents to be involved in the safety of Chula Vista. From the Citizen Academy and Town Hall meetings, to the annual National Night Out Against Crime, Chula Vista Police welcomes the opportunity to work side by side with residents to promote safety, crime prevention, and neighborhood spirit.
