Matt
Rodgers
Vice President
Matt Rodgers was raised in the Inland Empire and attended local schools. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and graduated from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Academy in 2014.
He was sworn-in as a Fontana Police Officer in September 2014, and has spent his entire law enforcement career with Fontana PD.
His assignments include Patrol, the Rapid Response Team, and he held the prestigious position of Tac-Officer at the Sheriff’s Academy. He is currently assigned to the Investigations Unit as a Detective.
In his off-duty time he is an avid outdoorsman and off-road enthusiast. Since becoming a police officer, he has always been a volunteer in helping feed our community at Fontana POA sponsored barbecues and at breakfasts prepared for families at Ronald McDonald House Loma Linda.
Throughout his school years he never liked bullies. He was known for standing up for people who were being bullied. He said, “When I began looking into a career in law enforcement, I recognized that a criminal was no different than a bully. Criminals victimize and take advantage of those they perceive as being weaker than them, which is unacceptable to me.”
Matt joined the Fontana Police Department because(1) it has the reputation of taking a proactive approach to suppress crime in the community, (2) its dedication to safeguarding the citizens, and (3) supporting and standing behind the police officers.
Matt added, “The citizens of Fontana are generous, kind, friendly, and proud of their city and livelihood. I have been honored to support and continue to advance what the City of Fontana and Fontana PD stand for and will continue to safeguard those in our community from those who seek to harm them.”
