DETALLES:

The Oxnard Police Department conducted three undercover operations in partnership with Vons / Pavilions loss prevention agents which resulted in 24 arrests over the course of the three separate enforcement operations.

On Friday December 16th, the Seabridge Vons had a $1000.00 theft from one person who ran out with a full cart of merchandise. El viernes diciembre 23, a suspect stole $1000.00 worth of merchandise just one hour before our team arrived at the Ventura Road Vons. Unfortunately incidents like this occur in our city each and every week at the major retail stores. These Incidents are a significant monetary loss to the businesses and are exactly why we are partnering with the business community to reduce overall crime.

Members of the Oxnard Police Department Neighborhood Policing Team (NPT) have been working directly with the loss prevention agents at the Oxnard Vons stores. Typically what will happen is the loss prevention agents will look for persons who have concealed merchandise within the store or people that they suspect are attempting to conceal merchandise with the store. They will communicate the information to police officers that are working with them inside and outside the store. The police officers are positioned in the camera rooms of the store and covertly positioned outside in the parking lot of the store to intercept the suspects immediately as they leave with stolen merchandise. This activity has been very successful and it has resulted in not only the recovery of stolen merchandise from the stores, but it has also led to arrests for persons having active arrest warrants, carrying illegal weapons and possession of narcotics. During one of the operations additional stolen merchandise was found from a different retail store inside of the suspect vehicle during a subsequent search.

The undercover operations took place at three separate Vons grocery stores within the city. The first was conducted in October at two of the stores resulting in eleven arrests for theft of merchandise. Our second operation was done on 12/16/16 at the Vons in the Shopping at the Rose resulting in five arrests. Our third was done on 12/23/16 at the Vons on Ventura Road and Fifth Street resulting in eight arrests.

There were six adults and two juveniles arrested during the 12/23/16 operación, all six adults were booked into the Ventura County Jail for theft. The two minors were released to parents. The adults arrested are:

Robert Jimenez, edad 64 Residente de Oxnard.

Vincent Munoz, edad 48 Residente de Oxnard.

Enrique Hernandez, edad 48, Residente de Oxnard.

Brittany Hedge, edad 22 Residente de Oxnard.

Jordan Hernandez, edad 27 Residente de Oxnard.

Isaiah Magallon, edad 18 Residente de Oxnard.

The Neighborhood policing team will be working with not only Vons/Pavilions but several other major retail businesses within the city in 2017. Theft from retail stores account for significant losses each year. It also results in a high number of calls for police service to each of these locations because there are so many shoplifting suspects arrested by the loss prevention agents. Our goal is to try and work with these retailers and reduce the amount of theft they experience and also reduce the police calls for service.

The Oxnard Police Department Neighborhood Policing Team is committed to reducing theft and forging close partnerships with our community stakeholders. Police Officers will be working undercover at Vons regularly in 2017 and we believe we will have a significant impact reducing theft. We want people to think twice before they steal from these stores because you never know when a police officer will be waiting by the front doors.

El equipo de policía vecinal del Departamento de Policía de Oxnard (NPT) was formed in June 2016 and has 20 officers assigned. The NPT focuses on crime and quality of life issues at the neighborhood level with a focus on Community Policing and Problem Solving.

DETALLES: The Oxnard Police Department was one of seventeen agencies in California selected by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to receive grant funding. The Oxnard Police Department was awarded $24,000 to assist in ABC regulation programs in the City of Oxnard.

Some of the goals of this program are to combat underage drinking and to ensure alcohol-licensed businesses are in compliance. Some of the programs used to accomplish these goals are the “Minor Decoy” operations, “Shoulder Tap” operations, and “IMPACT” operations (Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies).

Minor decoy programs have been used by local law enforcement in California since about 1987. They have been evaluated and found to be effective. These operations, conducted by law enforcement and/or community groups, can markedly increase the percentage of licensees who comply with the minimum-purchase-age law. In the last five years alone local law enforcement officers have visited roughly 4,000-6,000 establishments per year in decoy operations.

The Decoy Shoulder Tap Program is an enforcement program that ABC and local law enforcement agencies use to detect and deter shoulder tap activity. During the program, a minor decoy, under the direct supervision of law enforcement officers, solicits adults outside ABC licensed stores to buy the minor decoy alcohol.

The Oxnard Police Department will also host a free “LEAD” class (Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs) for local alcohol-licensed retailers. The mission of the LEAD Program is to provide high quality, effective and educationally sound training on alcohol responsibility and the law to California retail licensees and their employees. The class is 4 hours long and is going to be held on January 24, 2017 desde 11:00 yo igual 3:00 pm in the human resources community room located on the ground floor of City Hall 300 En. Third Street Oxnard, como. If you would like to attend, register at www.abc.ca.gov.

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