Weather and Climate
The mountains east of Los Angeles in the San Bernardino National Forest have weather conditions that vary widely depending on the elevation. Generally it is very dry and sunny in the summertime and wildfire is always a threat. In July, the forest usually enters the “very high” fire restriction level when no open fires are permitted and smoking is only within enclosed vehicles. The rainy season begins in October, with January through March being the wettest months. Snow falls in the higher elevations.

Crime and Safety
With emphasis on crime reduction and public safety the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department has continued into a fourth year of a Problem Orientated Policing philosophy. This has continued to reduce the major crime reported and provides additional proactive patrols by reducing the number of repeated responses to the same area.
