BEWARE OF MEDICARE SCAMS - New Medicare cards are being issued in California now with new ID numbers.  Some scammers are calling saying they represent Medicare patients. DO NOT give out any personal information. Medicare will never call you.  If you have questions you call Medicare at 1-800-633-4227. They answer the phone 24 hours a day.

 

The first thing everyone should know is that if a crime occurs, they need to report it to the Police Department.  If we don't know it is happening, it is hard to help. Next, everyone should know if they see or hear suspicious activity, they should call us, 24/7, when it is taking place.  Call 911 for emergencies, or 760-931-2197 for non-emergency police services. The sooner you call the better chance we have of arriving and making contact with the suspicious person/people.  If everyone calls when they see suspicious people, it will be less desirable to come to your area. 

Homes should be well-lit and well secured.  Landscaping and other property should not take away from lines of surveillance.  Neighbors should look out for each other and call the police when they see something that is suspicious.  Homes should appear as though there is someone at home all the time.  This is done through lights on timers, inside and out, trash picked up and other signs of life at homes. For more information about important phone numbers, how to call the police and what to say, and home security - click here.
