Let me tell you something, West Covina’s Police department is NOT the reason West Covina made this list it’s the PEOPLE here. That Captain had us all laughing.

[@Osyrous]

Absolute facts. The most warm welcoming communicty just hiddien away next to san dimas and a lake and groves 8 miles away. Although I will say this, the cops here are very respectful. Nothing is perfect but compared to other so cal cities WCPD seem to actually wanna pretect and serve. Kudos where kudos are due. Unlike the LAPD, and GCPD.

[@mintymatt777]

Sounds like you're a criminal or sumthin. I've had the best interactions with their police department

[@ariesomega]

You are an idiot. You must be a cop. See how easy that is.

[@mikecamacho1934]

I disagree. The police dont antagonize the people there. I worked as a taxi driver in all those SoCal cities and Covina above all the other cities the police would take the keys from drunkards and ask me to take them home. Rancho is awesome but was the opposite and Chino was on my list for great cities to live in, in that area.

I love that the first person from West Covina is a Raiders fan. SGV had a lot of raiders fan, especially West Covina/Covina 🔥

There are many safe areas in LA county, I can name a few for you that are pretty local. La Canada, Montrose, La Crescenta, South Pasadena, San Marino, Temple City, Arcadia, Monrovia. All are much much safer than West Covina.

I’ve lived in West Covina for about more than 35 years. Our house was burglarized 30 some years ago but haven’t had problems since. The only complaint I have are inconsiderate neighbors who throw big parties and turn the music way up for the entire neighborhood and doesn’t know when to quit. But these uncivilized folks only moved in in recent years with the new housing developments on the hills near my neighborhood.

To Hunt as Predators, on Targeted people that City operatives Want to Degrade (for Harrasers Personal Uplital); to Gradually Instigate Trouble onto people To cause people to 'Fight in Defense' which is used as an Opportunity to Impose theft of the Victims property; especially through Imposed Ticketing, Vehicle theft & Arrests.

I lived in both West Covina and Rancho Cucamonga. Both have some very expensive gated communities and hillside neighborhoods. Both are pretty good. What's crazy is you can go east of Rancho two miles and be in the pit of Fontana. Or west of WC and be in both Baldwin Park and El Monte which are gang infested toilets. Bassett, Valinda, La Puente, Azusa, City of Industry all border West Covina and are amongst the worst places to live and are are full of convicted felons and several gangs. Amazing how just a few miles can have you accidentally stray into some of the worst areas of the San Gabriel Valley.

[@Mac-xo2zj]

Those are not gang infested toilets. I mean they are not nice neighborhoods, pretty industrial but don't be so dramatic. You could safely live in any of those communities. For me the biggest problem would be the summer heat in any part of the San Gabriel Valley.
