Back by popular demand, the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station, in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Vehicle Theft Task Force, is hosting an "Etch & Catch" event, offering free catalytic converter etching for Santa Clarita residents.
The event will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Santa Clarita City Hall, located at 23920 Valencia Blvd., Santa Clarita, CA 91355.
During the event, a traceable identification number will be etched onto each participant's catalytic converter. This simple, proactive measure helps deter theft and can improve the chances of recovering a stolen catalytic converter.
No appointment is necessary—walk-ins are welcome on a first-come, first-served basis.
