“Why Crime Prevention?”

Crime prevention is everyone’s business! Whether you are personally victimized, or the neighbor down the street is, crime affects everyone!

Working together to make Santee a safe place to live is the goal of the Santee Sheriff’s Station Crime Prevention Unit. We’re a part of the community and take a personal interest in the well being of our City. We offer a number of programs and services FREE to the residents of Santee to accomplish this goal. Neighborhood Watch programs are probably the best known. The program consists of neighbors making a cooperative effort to watch and report crimes and suspicious activity.

Residential and Commercial Security Consultations are another FREE service offered to make recommendations to decrease vulnerability to crime. Crime Prevention Specialists have been trained to look at your home, business, church, or school, through the eyes of a burglar. You will be advised of security measures for your home or business that are practical and cost-effective. Commercial consultations not only enhance physical security, but also advise you of additional crime prevention measures.

Operation Identification is a part of the security consultation. Crime Prevention Specialists will engrave your valuables such as TV’s and stereos with your California Driver’s License number. Window decals will identify you as an Operation Identification member. This not only helps to deter theft, but also aids law enforcement in the recovery of your lost or stolen items.

Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is a proven technique for keeping illegal activity out of rental property. It is a unique coalition partnering law enforcement agencies, rental property owners, managers, and tenants, in a focused effort to keep their apartment complexes free from crime.

Another program, Crime Free Mobile Housing, serves the same purpose in our mobile home communities. If you are interested in participating in any of these programs give us a call!

Through Business Alert the Santee Crime Prevention Specialist can help to provide you with the knowledge and tools to make your business and commercial areas a safer and more secure place to work and conduct business. This program offers several training options after the basic orientation, including prevention of burglary, robbery, shoplifting, internal theft, and bad checks and fraud.

Additional programs focusing on the needs of seniors and children are also offered. Crime impacts seniors financially, physically, and emotionally, affecting both sense of security and well being.
