As residential burglaries have become a trend,upper class neighborhoods, near freeways, or homes backing up to open spaces are often targeted.      

With the holidays upon us, we would like to remind everyone to remain vigilant and help us protect your homes and that of your neighbors, by following these burglary prevention tips: 

• Homeowners should make an attempt to give the impression someone is home at all times, which would include leaving a car in driveway, leaving lights on in and around the home at night.

• Noise inside the house (leave TV or radio on) to give the impression someone is home. 

• Commercial security services that have become popular, inexpensive and easy to use, including but not limited to video recording devices.

• Use pets such a dog for property protection and deterrence. 

• Most importantly, making contact with neighbors and looking out for one another’s homes. 

• We don’t want our residents to be paranoid; however, they should appropriately suspicious of unusual vehicles or persons slowly traversing through their neighborhood. 

• #SeeSomethingSaySomething We encourage residents to ALWAYS and IMMEDIATELY contact law enforcement when they believe they are seeing something suspicious in the neighborhood.
