The Crime Prevention Unit at the Lemon Grove Sheriffs Station consists of three Crime Prevention Specialists. Each Specialist is responsible for actively engaging the community in PROACTIVE prevention programs and community involvement. The specialists accomplish this by establishing community partnerships while attending community council meetings, local chamber of commerce meetings, and various public forums.

Several FREE programs have been established to promote community awareness and involvement. Each specialist at the Lemon Grove Station is committed to facilitating the following programs:

• NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH- Communities working together in cooperation with Law Enforcement. We also provide a neighborhood watch newsletter
• RESIDENTIAL & BUSINESS SECURITY INSPECTIONS-Walk through of home/business, in which the specialist will assess areas of vulnerability and make recommendations on improving security.
• CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING- Training program designed to help tenants, owners and managers to keep illegal activity off their properties. This process consists of an 8-hour training class, property inspection and ongoing relationship with Law Enforcement.

• PROGRAMS AND EVENTS- We participate or coordinate school safety events, child safety seat education and instruction programs, community safety fairs, community clean-ups events, and presentations at the annual San Diego County Fair.
