CITY OF SARATOGA PUBLIC SAFETY TIPS
** Join Neighborhood watch **
Neighborhood Watch is one of the best ways to deter crime. The goal of the program is to organize neighborhoods to serve
as the eyes and ears of local law enforcement. Residents who are active in Neighborhood Watch are better able to identify
and report unusual activities to law enforcement. Furthermore, Neighborhood Watch is a great way to maintain a healthy and
vibrant neighborhood. The Sheriff’s Office is available to attend Neighborhood Watch meetings to provide home safety and
crime prevention information to your entire neighborhood.
Check the City’s map of registered Neighborhood Watch groups online at www.saratoga.ca.us/stayingsafe to see if you are part
of an existing Neighborhood Watch group, and contact the City to get connected or for help forming a new group. The City offers
$300 grants to registered Neighborhood Watch groups to help kick start new groups and encourage existing groups to stay active.

** tip from Captain rich **
In 2017, there was an up tick in the number
of stolen vehicles compared to 2016. To
avoid becoming a victim of vehicle theft,
never leave your car running or with the
keys in the ignition when you’re away from
it – even if it’s only for a few moments.
Keep your car parked in the garage at
home. Use an alarm system or mechanical
locking device to further secure your
vehicle.
