DETALLES:

En 10/23/2014, Oxnard Police Officers arrested Dennis Coleman, un 18 year old Oxnard resident for two counts of residential burglary. These burglaries occurred while the victims were sleeping in their homes. These types of burglary are known as “hot prowls” and are inherently dangerous.

Coleman was arrested this morning shortly after officers received the call and was still in possession of the victim’s property, including a heart monitor. Detectives responded and were able to identify Coleman from a previous residential burglary on 09/19/2014. Coleman is being held on $500,000 fianza.

The Oxnard Police Department wants to remind residents to exercise caution and continue to utilize the crime prevention tips we have been sharing throughout the year. These tips are part of our ongoing Operación segura y resistente initiative and can be found on our Department website, Facebook page, and on Nextdoor.com.

Lock all windows and doors at night when you leave your residence or vehicle unattended.
Close all of your windows-thieves can open vehicles and access homes through the smallest of openings.
Don’t forget to set your residential alarm if you have one.
To avoid obstruction, keep your landscaping trimmed.
The best crime prevention tool ever invented is a GOOD NEIGHBOR! One of the best crime fighting teams are neighbors working in conjunction with the police department, and reporting all suspicious activity.
Report any suspicious activity or persons to the Oxnard Police Department at (805) 385-7740.

We believe it is still possible that there may have been additional incidents such as these that have gone unreported by potential victims. We want to encourage anyone that has information about these incidents or any related incidents to call the Oxnard Police at (805) 385-3921. Si desea permanecer en el anonimato puede llamar a la línea directa de crímenes violentos en (805) 982-7070 o Ventura County Crime Stoppers al (800) 222-8477.

PERSONA DE CONTACTO & INFORMACIÓN DE CONTACTO:	Comandante Eric S. Sonstegard (805) 385-7801 eric.sonstegard@oxnardpd.org

DETALLES:

El lunes, Octubre 27^ª, Oxnard Police Officers along with EMS personnel responded to a residence in the 1200 block of West Kamala Street reference a baby not breathing. Upon their arrival, they were directed to a 3-month old infant boy that was found not breathing in his crib during a nap. The infant was quickly transported to St. John’s Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Investigators from the Family Protection Unit (FPU) responded to the residence and determined that there was no foul play involved. Besides the tremendous impact on the infant’s family, these types of calls for service take a tremendous emotional toll on the first responders that handle these types of tragedies. A Police Chaplain responded to provide services to the infant’s family and Trauma Support personnel were made available for the officers and investigators that responded to the scene.

The Oxnard Police Department responds to several calls each year of infants not breathing and often times they have occurred while an infant is sleeping in a bed or crib. We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents of all ages that there are steps that can be taken to lower the risk of these tragic events. The following are recommendations from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD):

Always place your baby on his or her back to sleep, for naps, and at night. The back sleep position is the safest, and every sleep time counts.
Place your baby on a firm sleep surface, such as on a safety-approved crib mattress, covered by a fitted sheet. Never place your baby to sleep on pillow, quilts, sheepskins, or other soft surfaces.
Keep soft objects, toys, and loose bedding out of your baby’s sleep area. Don’t use pillows, blankets, quilts, sheepskins, or pillow-like crib bumpers in your baby’s sleep area, and keep all objects away from your baby’s face.
Do not allow smoking around your baby. Don’t smoke before or after the birth of your baby, and don’t let others smoke around your baby.
Keep your baby’s sleep area close to, but separate from, where you and others sleep. Your baby should not sleep in a bed or on a couch or armchair with adults or other children, but he or she can sleep in the same room as you. If you bring your baby into bed with you to breastfeed, put him or her back in a separate sleep area, such as a bassinet, crib, cradle, or a bedside co-sleeper when finished.
Think about using a clean, dry pacifier when placing the infant down to sleep, but don’t force the baby to take it.(If you are breastfeeding your baby, wait until your child is one month old or is used to breastfeeding before using a pacifier.
Do not let your baby overheat during sleep. Dress your baby in light sleep clothing, and keep the room at a temperature that is comfortable for an adult.

DETALLES:

El lunes, Enero 26, 2015, 8:00 a.m. a 11:00 a.m., officers from Traffic Unit conducted a special enforcement operation targeting drivers who appeared in court for cases involving imposed driver’s license suspensions. Each of the individuals appearing in court was informed by a judge that their driving privilege was suspended resulting from a previous driving under the influence arrest by a local law enforcement agency.

Of the six individuals leaving the courthouse this morning, three of them made the appropriate decision not to drive. Two of them sat in the passenger seat of a vehicle while another one walked to a nearby bus stop to board a bus. The remaining three chose to drive away from the courthouse and were stopped by officers. Officers arrested the three drivers for misdemeanor violations of driving with a suspended driver’s license. The vehicles were towed from the scene of the stop and potentially face a 30-day impound.

The Oxnard Police Department will continue to conduct operations like these to help make our community and roadways safer.

These operations are funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Transportation Administration.

If anyone has information about traffic safety and enforcement, por favor, póngase en contacto con Oficial superior Jamie Brown en 805-385-7749 o por correo electrónico a jamie.brown @ oxnardpd.org.
