The Public Safety Commission works with staff in matters relating to law enforcement, crime prevention and control, code enforcement, animal control, and emergency preparedness. Meetings are open to the public and held on the third Tuesday of each odd-numbered month at 7 PM in the Duarte Community Center. Of the five members, one shall not be required to be a resident of the City but shall be recommended by the Duarte Unified School District, and the four remaining members shall be residents of the City. One member of the four required residents members may be a person who is a business owner/operator appointed from candidates that are nominated/recommended by the Chamber of Commerce (not required to be resident of the City), a representative of Los Angeles County, which does not require City residency (either a resident of the unincorporated area adjacent to Duarte and within the Duarte Unified School District boundary, a representative of the Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte Town Council, a representative from the Supervisor's office, or a representative of the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission).
