The Downtown Fullerton area includes a mix of businesses, restaurants and residences, all within close proximity to each other. When you consider that Downtown Fullerton has become a major night life attraction, with patrons visiting from all over Southern California, as well as the world, it is not a wonder that this mix can create a specific set of challenges for law enforcement. The ECHO Unit was designed to address those concerns. Officers assigned to this unit work with restaurant owners and security personnel, as well as patrons and residents, to address a wide variety of issues ranging from underage drinking, to public intoxication and crowd control, as well as many other quality of life issues related to the Downtown area. The ultimate goal of the Echo Unit is to provide a safe and inviting atmosphere in the Downtown area, by being a visible presence in deterring crime.
