CANYON LAKE, Calif. — Nov. 10, 2026 — EQGenix Inc., a Canyon Lake–based human formation company, today announced partnerships with Canyon Lake Police Department and Canyon Lake Fire Department through Sovereign Shield™ and Sovereign Station™, programs designed to support the people who serve as the community’s first line of defense.

Sovereign Shield™ serves law enforcement personnel, while Sovereign Station™ serves fire personnel. Both programs focus on developing and sustaining the human capacity that demanding public safety roles require—on duty, across a career, and beyond the uniform.

POST STATUS Sovereign Shield™ Tier I has received California POST course certification approval.

The partnerships reflect a shared commitment to investing in the people behind public safety. Participation and scheduling details will be coordinated with each department.

This is the first step. More will be shared in the coming months about how this work will reach Canyon Lake families and the broader community.

“Every day, our police officers navigate challenging and often demanding situations.

Our collaboration with EQGenix reflects our unwavering commitment to supporting those who serve and protect our community.”
