The City of Oceanside currently has six resource centers. The Police Department operates two of the centers (Police Beach Facility and Downtown Resource Center). The Housing and Neighborhood Services Department operates the other four centers.

The centers are designed to provide a sense of community and security to residents of the surrounding area. The centers also serve as a component of the Department's community-policing philosophy.

The Police Department's Senior Volunteers, along with other volunteers, staff the Police Resource Centers. They assist community members with preparing crime reports and other police-related functions. The Senior Volunteers will take reports for crimes such as car burglaries and vandalism. Residents can also obtain crime prevention information and educational materials at the centers.
