She started with the Banning Police Department in 2005 and has become a very well-respected part of the Law Enforcement family, not only in the City of Banning but throughout Riverside County.
Vickie started with the City of Beaumont Police Department as a Reserve Officer. During her year and a half as a Reserve, Vickie crossed trained into dispatch and would sit in Dispatch to fill in for breaks and when other dispatchers had days off. It was here that she began her training career.
In 2020, when Banning PD lost its dedicated IT person, Vickie stepped up and was made the Agency CLETS Coordinator, she was put in charge of all the radio responsibilities, phone circuits for 911 trunks, the main lines coming into the station, and everything CLETS. She assumed the role of the lead CIBRS and NextGen911 contact for the department and worked the desk dispatching.
Last year, Vickie spent over 800 hours of overtime, ensuring she was learning everything she needed to support her new duties. Each time Vickie has attended any meeting or conference, she always goes back to the department to share the information with the entire department to keep them informed and trained on upcoming events.

Vickie enjoys hiking and traveling, she volunteers at department events such as Shop with A Cop. Vickie spends her life pursuing sharing and teaching.
David Ontiveros is working as a full-time Police Communications Analyst III for the University of California Riverside Police Department, as he has for the past ten years. He started shortly after being honorably discharged from the United States Army. In those years with the UCR Police Department, David has not only grown the technology within the department but notably has improved the communications of the department, creating a safer and more reliable environment for the officers and the campus community.
David started his interest in radio communications while serving as a 25U Signal Support Systems Specialist in the United States Army. As a Signal Support Systems Specialist, David’s duties were to maintain computer systems, local area networks and, most importantly, work with radio communications and jamming enemy transmissions.
With David’s radio background, and as technologies for police departments grew, David began diving into what it would take to bring the UCR PD radio system from analog to the newer digital technologies. He attended meetings with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Public Safety Enterprise Communication (PSEC) group.
Moving the police department from a 30-year-old VHF system to a 700MHz digital system required a new backend of equipment in the server room, new circuits, and new radios (both handheld and in the units). It required David to learn how these radios would function and work with PSEC and Motorola. David accomplished this and still performed his other duties as the IT person for the department. Without David’s efforts, his approach to learning and applying that knowledge, without his willingness to handle unique problems, this department would not exist. We would not have been able to meet the standards required to bring our radio system into the 21st century.
David is married to Tatiana, and they have three beautiful children, Savannah, David, and Colton. He spends his weekends with his young family discovering new things together. David’s kids are involved in T-ball, soccer, and karate, so he has a very full family life. He helps take care of his father and runs a carpet cleaning business together. David always makes time for his friends and anyone in need.
