Fall Safety Forecast: Predicting a safe and secure fall.

Now that the lazy days of summer
are over, it is time to think about
how the changing seasons can
change the direction of crime. With fall and winter comes
more darkness and more activities after dark. Here are
some crime prevention strategies to consider:
*Don’t return home to a dark house. Put exterior and
interior lights on timers.
*Trim landscaping to aid visibility. Earlier dusk means
more shadows and less visibility. Trim bushes, trees
and other landscaping to reduce hiding places and
shadows, and to increase the ability to see and be
seen.
* Solicitors after dark? Don’t open the door to a
stranger—day or night. Say “no thank you” through
the door and keep an eye on them. If they don’t
move on, call the police department.
*Change your outdoor exercise routine. If it is no
longer light when you go out to jog or walk, consider
your options.
*There is safety in numbers. Walk or jog with a friend.
*Always carry your phone. Let someone know where
you are going and when you will be back.
*Use the well-traveled path. Walk or jog in well-lit
areas of activity.
*Always be aware of what is going on around you. If
you don’t like what you see, take a different path.
*Don’t let headphones prevent you from hearing what
is going on. Stay alert.
*Be visible. Wear reflective clothing.
*Out and about? Park your car as close to your
destination as possible, under a light and remove all
personal property. If you cannot take it with you,
leave it at home.
*Make sure your car is in good repair. If we get a rainy
season, tire tread is the key to safety.
*Remove distractions while driving. Be aware of
neighbors out for a jog or children headed to the bus
stop in limited light.
*Leaving work after dark? Park under a light so you can
see what is around your car. Have you keys ready and
not at the bottom of a purse or briefcase. Walk out
with others and make sure everyone gets to their car
safely. If co-workers are not around, call security for
an es**rt. Call a spouse or friend on the phone and
have them talk to you as you walk out to ensure you
get going safely.
*Find more home security and other prevention tips at
www.carlsbadca.gov/police.
With fall and winter comes the excitement of change and
new seasons. Keep the excitement alive by being aware
and reducing your risk of crime.

What’s in your Backpack? Teaching teens & kids to safeguard portable
property.

Cell phones, digital cameras, tablets and
laptops are just some of the portable
property teens carry around these days.
Where they take the property and how
they store it makes a difference when
trying to prevent it from being stolen.
Teens ages 12-17 are the most vulnerable to property
crime. The majority of these thefts are not reported to the
police department. Here are some tips to prevent the theft
of portable property:
Only take to school what you absolutely need. Leave
unnecessary items at home.
Take only as much cash as you need in one day.
Avoid calling attention to your valuables. Keep
portable players out of site, avoid unusual cell phone
ring tones that call attention to your phone and don’t
brag about your new expensive basketball shoes.
Keep an eye on your valuables. Most lost or stolen
valuables were left unattended. Use the buddy
system and take turns watching backpacks while in
the lunch line or elsewhere.
Make sure your locker is completely closed; keep your
combinations a guarded secret and request a
different locker if yours breaks. Gym lockers are the
most vulnerable as they are commonly left unlocked.
Don’t leave ANY property unattended in your car. If
you cannot take it with you, leave it at home.
Use security features like passwords, encryption and
tracking aps that comes with portable electronics.
Keep a list of your property that includes make, model
and serial number. Keep a photo of property at
home.
Make your property less desirable by engraving it with
your California driver license number.
Immediately report theft or other crime to school
authorities, your parents and the Police Department. Note
the date, time and location of the incident and ask around for witnesses.

As part of the many ways we are serving you, We have partnered with the City of Carlsbad community relations department to send you crime alerts, events and news. We feel that this will keep us all connected and in the "know" by being dialed into the community.
This is a fraud alert designed to let the community know about current scam trends

Two of the latest scam trends

• Home Depot is the latest store to be "hacked" gaining the hackers 53 million email addresses. "Home Depot is notifying affected customers. Telling them to be on guard against any phony emails designed to trick people into providing personal information." Find more information here http://money.cnn.com/2014/11/06/technology/security/home-depot-breach-emails/index.html
• Free pizza emails notifying people of Pizza Hut’s 55th anniversary is not such a great deal after all. No free pizza and by clicking on the link, malware is installed on your computer. Be cautious and don't click on links or attachments for any unknown or unsolicited emails that you receive. Malware is software that is intended to damage or disable computers and computer systems. More information here http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/free-pizza-nope-just-free-malware

New details reveal that hackers stole 53 million email addresses, in addition to the stolen 56 million credit and debit cards the company already disclosed.

Fun idea for kids with big imaginations

After last weeks indoor playhouse plans, Jaime and I wanted to also create plans for you for a simpler, less expensive indoor playhouse option.  We were both inspired by this playhouse for these plans.
