Three Police Officers, one Corporal, and one Sergeant are assigned to the Quality of Life Team who are partnered with one contract Social Worker (SWAG - Social Work Action Group) from City Community Services and one Social Worker from the County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH).

SWAG is a non-profit service group whose mission is to advocate, educate and inspire marginalized individuals and families in the Inland Empire to achieve sustainable independence through community support.

DBH operates Triage, Engagement, and Support Teams (TEST) throughout the county and has one staff member assigned to Chino Police Department. TEST provides crisis intervention and support services to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis.

The Quality of Life Team is available to help identify issues in the community, craft solutions with residents and business owners, while also proactively working with homeless individuals to offer them supportive services and a way off the streets. The team is also a resource to help reduce calls for service related to homelessness or related crime, while balancing outreach efforts with necessary enforcement to hopefully make a positive impact in the community and individual lives. The team also makes it a priority to interact with residents, businesses, and groups at different events throughout the city to foster positive relationships.
