ALD 7 Theft Prevention Tips


Monday December 7, 2015, 4:54 PM
LASD - Altadena Station, Los Angeles County Sheriff
Jim McDonnell, Sheriff



Community: Theft prevention tips to stop crimes of opportunity.


Theft Prevention
Burglary is a crime of opportunity that can be reduced through awareness and prevention. Whether you’re at home, in a car or walking, taking a few precautions will lower your risk of becoming a victim.
General Tips
• The majority of burglars are serial criminals who will continue their actions until arrested. If you see someone or something suspicious, contact Altadena Sheriff's Station immediately.
• Keep expensive items out of sight. Avoid showing your wallet or wearing expensive jewelry when you know you’ll be out walking. Don’t leave your phone or purse on the seat of your car.
At Home
• Lock your doors and windows, even when you’re at home.
• If you notice someone loitering outside your residence and it seems suspicious, report them to Altadena Sheriff's Station immediately.
• Buy renter’s insurance. If you’re living in an apartment, you should insure your property. Renters insurance is affordable and much less expensive than paying to replace your property out of pocket.
In Your Car
• Don’t leave anything valuable in your car. Take everything with you, even if you’re just leaving your car for a few minutes. If you must leave something of value in your vehicle, lock it in the trunk (and make sure no one’s watching as you do so!).
• Keep your car organized and free of clutter. You may know that duffel bag just contains gym clothes, but a robber only sees an overstuffed bag sitting on your back seat. The messier your car is, the more tempting it looks.
• When ever possible, park in secure lots, or in your garage. If you must park on the street, park in a well lit, high traffic area.
On Foot
• Find a buddy. Whenever possible, don’t walk alone. The larger the group, the less chance you’ll be targeted.
• When walking alone, skip using headphones or taking phone calls. Robbers often target people they notice are distracted or unaware of their surroundings.
• Stay aware of your surroundings. Take note of where you are and who’s around. Look behind you. Trust your instincts–if your route seems unsafe, don’t take it.
• Avoid unlit or deserted areas. They make you uncomfortable for a reason. Even if that alley is your favorite shortcut in daylight, at night opt for the long way home where there are streetlights and other people.
Bikes
• Always lock your bike to a secure rack. Bike racks are designed to prevent bicycle theft. Telephone poles are not. If there’s no room at a bike rack, find another one nearby.
• Invest in a U-bolt lock. Bicycles secured with chain or cable locks are easier targets.
• Don’t leave your bike in isolated areas. The more people around, the less likely you’re bike will be stolen. Keep in mind that an busy area during the day may not be at night. If you plan to leave your bike overnight, make sure you pick a secure and highly visible location.

Preventing Preventable Crimes

Jim McDonnell, Sheriff



Community: Tip of the Week: Preventing Preventable Crimes

***Tip of the Week: Preventing Preventable Crimes***
Tip of the Week: Preventing Preventable Crimes
So many crimes are actually preventable when people take the time to secure high-value items. Additionally, when thieves notice a pattern of relaxed security in an area, they are sure to return as well as spreading the word to other criminals. Here are some simple tips to protect your property and keep crime out of your area.
1. Never leave high-value items, purses, wallets, etc. in unsecured lockers or cubby holes when at the gym or other sporting type places.
2. Never leave high-value items, purses, wallets, etc. in your vehicle, whether secured or not, in plain view. If you cannot carry the items with you, secure them in your trunk and out of view. If you have a sunshade for your windshield, consider using it even at night and in parking garages to make it more difficult to see inside your vehicle.
3. Never leave high-value items, purses, wallets, etc. in plain view in your home if you are going to be away, even for a short time. Try to leave things like laptop computers, jewelry, purses, etc. in a closet where they cannot be seen from outside the home and consider closing blinds and curtains when leaving your home.

Don't be fooled by phone scams this holiday season. Be Alert. Be Aware. Be advised!

Tuesday December 1, 2015, 10:51 AM
LASD - Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept Information Bureau (SIB)



Advisory: ** Don't be fooled by phone scams this holiday season. Be Alert. Be Aware. Be advised!

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has been advised that citizens are receiving phone calls from individuals who are representing themselves as Department employees. The caller usually tells the citizen that there has been a warrant issued for their arrest for failure to appear for Jury Duty. The caller will tell the victim that they have to pay a sum of money or deputies will come and arrest them. The caller will instruct the victim to either get a Money Order, conduct a wire transfer, or buy a Gift Card (usually Green Dot) and send it to “pay the fine.”

BE ALERT, BE ADVISED, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department or any Government Agency will NEVER call and solicit money for fines. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department does not solicit warrant information by phone. The Sheriff’s Department or any Government Agency will NEVER ask you to get a Money Order, Gift Card, or wire transfer. Sheriff Department personnel will never go to your home to collect a fee for a warrant.

BE AWARE, NEVER give your personal information to anyone over the phone. DO NOT give callers information about your bank account, pin numbers, Social Security number or any type of identifying information.

Phone Scam Thieves are just that “Thieves” they will try and trick you into giving them money and information. If you receive a call protect yourself, your information and DO NOT SEND MONEY!

If you receive a phone call, always verify who the caller truly is, DO NOT use a phone number they provide you as verification. Usually numbers provided by the thief will go to a voice recording/message. Call your local Sheriff Station to verify any solicitation.

If you have sent money or believe that you are a victim of a crime, please call your local Sheriff’s Station or Police Department and report the incident.

If you receive a suspicious phone call/solicitation that you believe is not from a real government agency, please contact The Department of Consumer Affairs at (800) 593-8222. You can also file a complaint on the DCA website at dca.lacounty.gov.
