Nunca deje su coche abierto, ni siquiera por un minuto.
Nunca deje las llaves en el coche, incluso si usted piensa que son realmente “oculto.”
No deje su coche al ralentí y sin vigilancia porque es innecesario (que no recibe suficiente frío aquí), es peligroso e ilegal, y alguien puede robar su coche.
rueda de esclusas, cerraduras pedal de freno y bloqueo de dirección de rueda son también eficaces.

If anyone has any information regarding stolen vehicles please contact Detective Enrique Alvarez at enrique.alvarez@oxnardpd.org o (805) 385-7664.

DETALLES:

En agosto 5, 2017, the Oxnard Police Department cited 13 store clerks for selling alcohol to minors. The actions were the result of three simultaneous minor decoy operations in which minors, under the direct supervision of officers, intentó comprar alcohol de 57 licenciatarios minoristas en la ciudad de Oxnard.

Those who sold to the minors face a minimum fine of $250, y / o 24 a 32 horas de servicio comunitario por una primera infracción. en adición, the Alcohol Beverage Control (Abecedario) will take administrative action against the alcoholic beverage license of the business. Eso puede incluir una multa, una suspensión de la licencia, o la revocación permanente de la licencia.

The Oxnard Police Department is conducting the compliance checks to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. Las estadísticas han demostrado que los jóvenes menores de 21 tienen una tasa más alta de muertes por conducir en estado de ebriedad que la población adulta en general.

Minor Decoy operations have been conducted by local law enforcement throughout the state since the 1980’s. Cuando comenzó el programa, la tasa de infracción de los establecimientos minoristas que venden a menores fue tan alta como 40 a 50 por ciento. Cuando se realiza de forma rutinaria, la tasa ha caído en algunas ciudades tan bajo como 10 por ciento o incluso por debajo.

En 1994, the California Supreme Court ruled unanimously that use of underage decoys is a valid tool of law enforcement to ensure that licensees are complying with the law.

This project is part of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Education and Teen Alcohol Enforcement Program Grant, funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

DETALLES:

Oxnard residents are partnering with the Oxnard Police and Fire Departments to bring you a series of National Night Out (– Los Departamentos de Policía y Bomberos de Oxnard y el Consejo Vecinal de Via Marina se están asociando para traer National Night Out) events scheduled for next Tuesday, Agosto 1, 2017 and Friday, Agosto 4, 2017.

NNO is a national effort of cities, law enforcement agencies, crime prevention organizations, community groups and neighborhoods. Along with traditional outside lights and front porch vigils, most cities and towns celebrate National Night Out with a variety of special citywide and neighborhood events such as block parties, cookouts, desfiles, festivals, visits from local officials and law enforcement, safety fairs, and youth events.

National Night Out is designed to: (1) heighten crime prevention awareness, (2) generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs, (3) strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and (4) send a message to criminals letting them know that community members are organized, vigilant and willing to report crime.

Events throughout Oxnard will bring the District Teams who patrol and serve each District to a location where they can meet their neighborhood members. District Teams focus on crime, traffic safety, and quality of life issues at the neighborhood level and need the public’s help to best do their jobs. Also participating in the event is the Oxnard Fire Department who will be sharing risk reduction and fire prevention strategies.

There is still time to schedule your own event! Just follow the below steps to have your own NNO event:

Each group that is participating is asked to notify the police department so that we can make arrangements to stop by.
You do not have to be part of an organized group (Neighborhood Council, Neighborhood Watch) to have an event.
This is about neighbors getting to know neighbors and celebrating together!
Contact your beat coordinator for assistance in setting up your event.
We can’t wait to hang out with you!

If you have any questions regarding National Night Out events in Oxnard, please contact Community Affairs Manager, Melissa Valdez at melissa.valdez@oxnardpd.org o (805) 342-8292.
