PoliticsIn the state legislature Norco is located in the 37th Senate District, represented by Republican John J. Benoit, and in the 71st Assembly District, represented by Republican Jeff Miller. Federally, Norco is located in California's 44th congressional district, which has a Cook PVI of R +6 and is represented by Republican Ken Calvert.City politics can be quite heated, with long time friends and allies becoming outspoken critics of one another in the biannual City Council Elections.In 2003 Norco became a Charter City for the express purpose of protecting and preserving animal keeping rights. The Charter was not extensive, maintaining all aspects of California's General Law provisions except in three areas: horse trails, lot size, and animal keeping rights. To change any ordinances in Norco relating to those three topics requires a supermajority (4/5 ths) vote of the City Council. Major employersAccording to the City of Norco, the major area employers are Corona-Norco Unified School District with 5,215 employees, California Rehabilitation Center with 1,146 employees, and Naval Surface Warfare Center with 1,010 employees. Horse communityThis section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unverifiable material may be challenged and removed. (February 2009)As a horse community, there are few sidewalks in the city of Norco; instead there are horse trails. There are many associations that are a part of the city, including the Norco Horsemen's Association and the Norco Junior Horsemen's Association. Politics in Norco also are dominated by concerns about horses and animal-keeping vs. suburbanization, a battle that has played out over development in the Norco Hills. In that area, which borders eastern Corona and Riverside, an influx of Orange County commuters are buying homes for $500,000 and up that have few provisions for animal-keeping—regarded by longtime residents, who believe their town's character is in jeopardy, as an affront. The original spirit of the town's incorporation was to promote "City living in a rural atmosphere".In 2006 Norco began promoting itself as "Horsetown U.S.A".Norco is also the home of the Norco Animal Rescue Team (NART). NART was founded after the October 2003 wildfires that savaged San Bernardino County and San Diego County. During the fires, Norco citizens banded together to provide a place of refuge for horses and other animals being evacuated from the fire areas. In the aftermath of these fires, the community of Norco recognized a need for an organized group to assist in the evacuation of mainly large animals from floods, fires and other dangers. NART's main purpose is to rescue large animals, mainly horses, from dangerous situations such as being stranded in ares where they cannot remove themselves from, such as canyons or ravines, using the Anderson Sling and a helicopter. Such major rescues have been accomplished twice and NART has mobilized during every major fire that has hit southern California since 2004.The largest event highlighting Norco's tight-knit community and animal keeping lifestyle is the Norco Valley Fair. This event is held each year on Labor Day weekend. Tickets for the fair are buttons. Each year a contest is held to design the button. The winning design goes on that year's Fair Button. Button's are sold in the weeks before the Fair by teenage girls competing in to be the next Miss Norco. Buttons must be worn at all time by patrons of the Fair or they risk being locked in jail by the Fair's marshals.The Norco Valley Fair begins on Thursday evening, kicked off by the Miss Norco Contest and continues until Monday. Events included at the Fair are the Calf Dressing Competition, Cowboy Poker, Wild Cow Milking, Snail Races, and Family Fun Day. The Fair concludes on Monday with a parade marching east down Sixth Street. For years children have lined Sixth Street hoping to catch candy being thrown by the parade entrants. Norco is one of the few cities in California that still allows its parade participants to throw candy. Public SafetyThis section does not cite any references or sources.

(February 2009)Norco contracts out for law enforcement services with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department through a regional station off Hamner Street, but maintains its own fire department.The Norco Fire Department operates out of two stations --- one located on Sixth Street and Hillside Avenue, where the Fire Chief's office is; and one located on Corydon Avenue adjacent to Wayne Makin little league fields and Shearer soccer fields. The Norco Fire Department staffs its fire engines with four professional firefighters: a captain, an engineer, and firefighter, and a firefighter/paramedic. By having four firefighters on an engine, the Norco Fire Department is compliant with the "2 in/2 out" safety standard accepted by both state and national professional firefighters organizations. "2 in / 2 out" allows for two firefighters to be inside a burning building while two are outside the fire to maintain water pressure and to respond to any emergencies that may threaten the lives of the firefighters inside the burning building.
