The Holiday Season is here and public safety in paramount to our organization. We would like to arm our community members with these safety tips to make sure our citizens are equipped with the tools to prevent and fight crime.

Remove all valuables from your vehicle (phone, wallet, laptop, camera, packages) – including GPS Devices, cell phones, IPODS and chargers. Be aware of your surroundings, do not text or talk on your cell phone while walking.

Lock your vehicle and roll up all windows. Park in a well-lit, populated area and refrain from parking between two large vehicles. Use anti-theft devices such as alarms and steering wheel locks. Be aware and alert of suspicious activity or persons in the area.

Place valuables in your trunk before arriving at the parking lot. If you need to drop off extra packages in the middle of your shopping trip, put them in the trunk and then move your vehicle to another area of the shopping center.

Leave your expensive jewelry and gold chains at home in a secure area while you shop. Don’t allow a robber to snatch your jewelry.

If possible, shop with a friend or family member. If you must be out alone at night, stay in well-lighted areas. Walk close to street lights, staying well away from dark corners and alleys.

Remember, crime occurs during the day, evening, weekdays and weekends. Stay alert and be observant of any suspicious person or vehicle in your immediate area.

Please immediately report suspicious activity by calling (510)577-2740 or if it’s an emergency call 911.

Citizens can send an anonymous tip to San Leandro Police Department by texting the word SLPD and their tip to 847411. Anonymous web tips can be submitted from the Police Departments website at http://www.sanleandro.org/depts/pd/at.asp
