About Pomona, California

Pomona is a city in the San Gabriel Valley of eastern Los Angeles County, California, United States. At the time Spanish conquistadors first arrived in California, the Tongva people inhabited what is now Pomona and the LA Basin. The swap meet (for car parts and accessories) is part of the car show, which is a single-day event held seven times throughout the year. (Wikipedia)

On-campus criminal offenses reported under the Clery Act, 2022–2024, across 3 campuses (3,665 students). Counts reflect reports, not convictions — schools with strong reporting cultures often show more, so a higher count doesn't simply mean a more dangerous campus.
