Crime in Brentwood is down 22%
We have seen an up swing in two crime areas. First, burglary/theft from motor vehicle, the community is still leaving property in their vehicles and some are failing to lock their vehicles.
Please remove all property from the inside of your vehicle, lock the doors and set the alarm.
Secondly, the burglaries north of Sunset Blvd. have returned. Please see the requests below.
We are also encouraging residents to re-evaluate their home security by utilizing the below prevention measures.
Ensure all doors and windows are securely locked, including side or rear garage doors.
Ensure that alarm systems are maintained in good working order.
Ensure that the upstairs master bedroom and closet areas are equipped with motion sensor detectors.
Activate alarms when leaving your residence even if just for short trips away.
Eliminate the presence of any ladders from the outside of your residences.
Ensure that safes are bolted and secured to the frame or foundation.
Maintain up to date records and photos of small non-serialized valuables.
Consider installing surveillance cameras covering the exterior and interior areas where safes and other valuables are kept.
