Most burglaries can be prevented.

In many of these burglaries, no force was used. That means the burglars got in through UNLOCKED doors and windows. Always lock your doors and windows even when leaving for “just a minute.”  Never leave a house key available; under a doormat, in a flowerpot, or on the ledge of the door. These are the first places a burglar will look.

Scams have always existed, but with the recent advance in technology, it has never been easier for scammers to reach out to victims. 

YFSB offers Diversion Counseling and appropriate workshops to eligible youth and their families. Eligible participants are typically first-time offenders who have committed minor offenses; however, eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis by the Juvenile Sergeant, sometimes in collaboration with YFSB counseling staff. The purpose of these services is to divert minors from the juvenile court system by providing a meaningful learning experience as an alternative to time spent in juvenile hall.

We are a liaison between the Police Department and the community, utilizing various forms of outreach in order to engage and educate community members, empowering them with the knowledge and tools to avoid being a victim of crime, and to proactively deter crime in their neighborhoods.
