San Ysidro

IPS works with concerned community members to conduct Neighborhood Safety Perception Surveys to address concerns about underage drinking and cannabis use, public drunkenness and drug dealing in and around their apartment communities. IPS takes the results of those surveys and works with the San Diego Police Department’s Southern Division and San Diego City Council District 8 to address those concerns and come up with solutions.

South Bay Youth 4 Change students and their parents also have conducted Retail Operating Standard Assessments in San Ysidro to determine if liquor, convenience and grocery stores are following conditions established on their business licenses. These operating standards help prevent and eliminate nuisance conditions on the premises and ensure a safer environment for the patrons and the neighboring community.
