Public Safety Alert, Job Fair Prep and Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Highlight Santa Clarita Updates

Santa Clarita residents are seeing a mix of public safety developments and community services as April begins.

Public Safety Incident Under Investigation

Authorities are investigating an alleged assault that occurred March 23 at a grocery store on Valencia Boulevard. A man is accused of exposing himself and inappropriately touching a woman inside the store during evening hours.

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station reported the incident this week and is asking anyone with additional information to come forward. The case has renewed conversations locally about retail safety and visible patrol presence in high-traffic commercial areas.

Job Fair Preparation at College of the Canyons

Workforce development efforts are also ramping up. College of the Canyons is hosting a free Resume Refresh Lab on April 7 to help residents prepare for the upcoming SCV Job Fair. The drop-in clinic offers in-person and virtual assistance, along with free parking for participants.

City and college leaders have increasingly emphasized employment readiness as part of broader economic development goals, especially as new housing and commercial projects continue moving forward across the valley.

Free Household Hazardous Waste Collection

Environmental services are also in focus. A free Household Hazardous Waste and E-Waste collection event is scheduled for April 11 at College of the Canyons. The drive-thru event allows Los Angeles County residents to safely dispose of paint, batteries, electronics and other potentially toxic materials.

Events like this support the city’s long-term sustainability goals by reducing improper disposal and protecting local waterways and open space.

Together, these updates reflect Santa Clarita’s ongoing efforts to balance public safety, workforce opportunity and environmental stewardship as the city heads into spring.
