“Petty thefts and opportunistic crimes like car break-ins  are up in most areas of San Jose, including in this neighborhood,” said Lt. Glenn Harper, SJPD. “It’s important to be aware of this and to be active in terms of reporting crimes and suspicious behavior to the Police so we can take appropriate action to promote public safety.”

• It is important that residents do not leave anything valuable visible in their cars included GPS devices or their mounts
• Call 311 to report suspicious activity unless it is going on right then, in which case you should call 911. If you don’t receive the response you need, call back and ask to speak to a Sergeant.
• Priorities for police response are set by statistics including level of violence and number of crimes, so the more substantive reports they receive on an area the more attention they will give that area.
• The SJ PD will try to improve safety near the railroad tracks along Monterey Rd.  Fencing will go up near Blossom Hill, no parking and no trespassing signs will go up and be enforced.
