Morro Bay Redevelopment Study
Does downtown Morro Bay "look tired" to you?
If you are from Orange County, maybe.
Looking tired is the way one of the planing consultants from Orange County characterized at least part of Morro Bay on June 17 when they appeared at a public workshop to explain their recommendation that the City of Morro Bay undertake a highly-controversial "redevelopment" project covering 469 properties and 250 of the developable acres in the "Potential Project Area" that spreads in an irregular strip from the city's top to bottom.

The Morro Bay Police Department
Presents Annual Citizen’s Academy
The Morro Bay Police Department is hosting its annual Citizen’s Academy. The Academy is open to the public and will present a series of informational sessions where citizens learn firsthand how their police department performs within the framework of the city’s general structure.
The Academy will meet over nine consecutive Thursdays. Citizens will receive an over-view on law enforcement in Morro Bay from a variety of instructors. Orientation topics will consist of the history of the Morro Bay Police Department, patrol procedures, investigations, narcotics enforcement, code of ethics, community oriented policing and much more. Training will include radio communications, crime prevention, criminal justice and the court system. There will also be hands-on- training with a firearms simulator, and driving simulator.
The key to a safe community is a strong working relationship between the public and the police. This is an opportunity to meet the individuals that protect your community and make Morro Bay a safe place to live.
