The South District Team is responsible for addressing quality of life issues that arise within the district. The district team utilizes different methods in identifying and solving issues that affect the quality of life. The two main models utilized are Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) and the SARA model. CPTED concepts are utilized to identify factors in an environment that may be contributing to crime and quality of life issues at a particular location. SARA is a problem solving model that utilizes comprehensive procedures of scanning, analyzing, responding, and assessing. Specifically, once a particular problem is identified, an analysis is performed, a course of action is taken, and the results are assessed to determine if the desired results were attained.

A Police Sergeant supervises them, and a Police Commander oversees the efforts in the entire district.

Policing Districts are not the same as Oxnard's six City Council political districts.
