Santa Clarita City Officials Create New Illegal Firework Reporting System

Residents can now report illegal fireworks through the City’s Resident Service Center, as well as the Santa Clarita Mobile App.

Through a new “Illegal Fireworks” category in the City’s Resident Service Center (RSC), residents can pinpoint and submit exact locations where fireworks are being set off, and include incident-specific details.

“Fireworks can be hazardous to people and pets, and create unnecessary danger in our already fire-prone environment,” said Captain Robert Lewis of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station in a statement Tuesday. “This new feature will assist our crime prevention team and patrol deputies to plan out proactive enforcement and patrols in the days leading up to, and after, the Fourth of July and other times of increased fireworks usage in the community.”

As the Fourth of July approaches, residents can begin submitting locations that have been problem areas for illegal fireworks in past years. City officials say that the information provided will be automatically transmitted to Sheriff’s officials so they can enter it into their database in order to determine where they should focus their patrols.

“This information gathered will be used to ‘predictively’ map out problem areas of concern for law enforcement efforts,” reads a statement from the City of Santa Clarita. “Reporting illegal fireworks through RSC will not result in an immediate response from the Sheriff’s Department.”

The RSC is accessible on the City’s website and through the Santa Clarita Mobile App. When residents are looking for the “Illegal Fireworks” category in the RSC online or through the mobile app, they can access the correct form by using search terms “fireworks” or “illegal fireworks.”
