DETALLES:The Oxnard Police Department has been informed that residents are receiving scam phone calls involving the Department of the Treasury. Individuals are being told that they have won a grant or similar award but have to provide personal information or send a sum of money for the “award” to be released. In some cases, the caller has become aggressive and threatening.

Esto es una estafa. The Department of the Treasury does not have this type of program nor would they threaten a member of the public if they are not provided with money or information. Similarly, any person calling and claiming to be from a government agency would not demand or threaten a member of the public.

Scams such as this have been circulating for some time and on previous occasions, the Oxnard Police Department has received reports of the callers purporting to be from Southern California Edison, the IRS, the Sheriff’s Department and miscellaneous law offices. Recordar, there are many variations of these scams but all end with the victim losing their money or property with the promise of gain. Below are some tips to avoid becoming a victim.

· Do not give your personal identifying information to anyone that you do not know or did not solicit their services.
· Do not respond to any request that you send money or information to someone because you “won” un premio o una lotería.
· Do not respond to anyone asking you to send money by “wire” transfer (you are sending cash – you won’t get it back), “Western Union” or “Green Dot”, etc.

What to do if you are a victim of a scam or identity theft:

·Accumulate all of the paperwork showing that you have been a victim and contact your local police agency to initiate a report.

·If the scam was not completed, you are not a victim. sin embargo, if you would like to report the scam to authorities, contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) en www.ftc.gov, https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov o llame al (202) 326-2222.

DETALLES:
El Departamento de Policía de Oxnard ha sido galardonado con una $275,000 subvención de la Oficina de Seguridad Vial de California (OTS) for a year-long program of special enforcement and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic related deaths and injuries. The Oxnard Police Department will use the funding as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to keep our roadways safe and improve the quality of life through both enforcement and education.

“We are grateful for the support we received from the State to maintain our commitment on traffic safety throughout Oxnard” said Police Chief Jeri Williams. “This critical funding allows us to continue our focus on distracted drivers, drunk and drugged driving, as well as our commitment to working with the public on an education campaign and moving towards our goal towards zero-traffic related deaths,” Williams added.

After falling dramatically between 2006 y 2010, the number of persons killed and injured in California traffic collisions saw slight increases in 2011 y 2012. Particularly alarming are recent increases in pedestrian and bicycle fatalities, the growing dangers of distracting technologies, and the emergence of drug-impaired driving as a major problem. This grant funding will provide opportunities to combat these and other devastating problems such as drunk driving, speeding and crashes at intersections.

"En general, California’s roadways are among the safest in the nation,” said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “But to meet future mobility, la seguridad, and accessible transportation objectives, we have to reverse this recent trend in order to reach our common goal – zero deaths on our roadways. The Office of Traffic Safety and the Oxnard Police Department want to work with everyone to create a culture of traffic safety across the City of Oxnard and the state.”

Activities funded by the grant will include:
• Educational presentations
• DUI checkpoints
• DUI saturation patrols
• Motorcycle safety enforcement
• Distracted driving enforcement
• Speed, red light and stop sign enforcement
• Seat belt and child safety seat enforcement
• Pedestrian and bicycle safety and enforcement program
• Warrant service operations targeting offenders with multiple DUI convictions
• Compilation of DUI “Hot Sheets,” identifying worst-of-the-worst DUI offenders
• Specialized DUI and drugged driving training such as Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), Roadside avanzada Deterioro de conducción de Aplicación (ÁRIDOS), Drogas y Reconocimiento Evaluador (DRE)
• Court “sting” operations to cite individuals driving from DUI court after ignoring their license suspension or revocation
• Stakeout operations to observe the “worst-of-the-worst” repeat DUI offender probationers with suspended or revoked driver licenses

Los fondos para este programa es de la Oficina de Seguridad Vial de California a través de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial.
