RPV residents of Del Cerro, Park Place, Island View, and Rancho Crest HOAs gathered to celebrate National Night Out August 5, 2025 at the home of Bob & Megan Moore. This is the 18th year Del Cerro has celebrated together.
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.
Long time sponsors Al & Kathy Edgerton welcomed RPV’s Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Gail Lorenzen and her husband Angus “Andy” Lorenzen, as well as Lomita Sheriff’s Department Deputies Alarid, Lopez-Beltran and Cromer. Gail shared her memories of the early years creating RPV’s Neighborhood Watch organization 34 years ago. As the city indicated in a recent document, RPV is one of the safest cities in California.
RPV Neighborhood Watch program has received 28 national, state and local awards – the largest award being the winner of the National Sheriff’s Dept. and the Dept. of Justice Assistance award for the Most Exemplary Neighborhood Watch in the US. This included RPV’s Emergency Preparedness program.
