Public Safety Team to Canvass Neighborhoods
In a heightened effort to educate residents about crimes of opportunity, the Public Safety Team will engage residents more directly about how they can take an active role in preventing property crimes.
Sheriff’s deputies, Public Safety Officers, and volunteers will soon be canvassing neighborhoods to educate residents about potential crimes of opportunity. The canvassing will focus on alerting residents of ways they may be leaving their homes and vehicles vulnerable to theft or burglary, such as by leaving garage doors and windows unsecured, placing items in plain sight inside vehicles, and keeping doors unlocked.
The Public Safety Team aims to meet with all residents, however, door hangers and other information with crime prevention tips will be left if residents are not home.
For more information, contact the Community Sheriff’s Station at (562) 902-2960.
