What is RCONA?

BACKGROUND

In 1993, the City of Roseville Police Department began the formation of Neighborhood Associations as a part of their award winning community policing program. Today the City of Roseville is divided in to 42 Neighborhood Associations, with Neighborhood Police Officers assigned to each and a team of city staff led by the Neighborhood Services Division that work directly with the associations. Volunteers participating in their Neighborhood Association work to improve their neighborhoods and maintain a high quality of life.  Citizens and staff work together on a variety of projects such as crime prevention, park development, resolution of development related issues, neighborhood team building and much more. Neighborhood Association Representatives make up the Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood Associations (RCONA).
