The Los Altos Police Department would also like to remind the public to be vigilant in the following areas:

• Reporting suspicious activity in your neighborhood (i.e. any individuals exhibiting behavior consistent with “casing” the neighborhood, aggressive solicitors, suspicious vehicles not known to the neighborhood, etc.). When calling, be ready to articulate specific observations, which would substantiate suspicions. 
• Securing your home:  There are a variety of preventative measures community members can take to secure their homes and deter criminal activity. Some of these techniques include installing burglar alarms, locking perimeter gates and access points, installing exterior motion lights, and video surveillance systems. Any residents interested in receiving a free home security inspection are asked to contact Community Service Officer Josh Cottrell at (650) 947-2647.
