Linked to the right are SJPD’s prevention tips to help keep yourself & your neighbors safe, especially when you see suspicious activity. We highly encourage neighbors to follow the SJPD’s tips and call 911 to report any suspicious activity around the neighborhood – the attitude that “someone else will do it” does not work with crime, and will put neighbors at risk if an actual, preventable incident was not reported in a timely manner.
