HPD encourages residents to think in terms of layered security, measures that would help to deter crime and allow for timely alerts. Alarm systems and surveillance cameras are effective when used consistently. If you have an alarm system, please install motion sensors on both levels of the home and one in the primary bedroom. Many systems also offer home and away modes, which let you keep protection active while adjusting motion sensing when you are home.
HPD also maintains a Vacation Watch list, where officers will conduct periodic passing checks of your residence while you are away. HPD also offers free home security evaluations by appointment with our Crime Prevention Specialists.
To request Vacation Watch, schedule a home security evaluation, or report suspicious activity, contact our Communications Center at 650-375-7470. For crimes in progress, dial 9-1-1.
