Not
much has been happening in our neighborhood, at least that we've heard of. Below
are some Arden Park incidents with descriptions that all should be
aware of. Sac Sheriff "cyberwatch" has been replaced. If you haven't
received a notice or were unaware of it, below is a link to access the new system.
Also from the Sheriff's Department: FREE CERT (community emergency response team) training. (see below)
Attempted Burglary, September 5th
My brother lives on Stewart, between Arden and Berrendo, and at 10:45 this morning stopped someone from breaking into his house. Fortunately my brother is fine, and was quick enough to call 911 & give a description of the guy.
white male, about 20 years old
Russian accent
smoker
purple t-shirt, jean shorts
white shoes, no laces
sep7th
The guy sped off in a silver Toyota Camry, plate 6UNA812 with tinted windows. The car was parked down the street from my brother's house.
The guy knocked on my brother's front door a couple of times before going into the backyard and being caught at the back sliding door. The Sheriff Dept. came out right away, but were unable to find the guy.
Equipment Theft
Last week my gardener's new blower was stolen out of his truck (parked on La Sierra near cresta) He had observed a newer model silver silverado parked behind his truck with two male occupants. When he approached his truck, the other truck abruptly pulled away and then he found his blower missing. Another regular AP Gardner reported a similar experience - same silverado observed- nearer to San Ramon. Security patrol driver was alerted but didn't appear to take interest. Keep your eyes open for a newer Silver Silvarado truck parking on your street when gardners are at work. Tell your yard workers to be on the look out. Call security to check it out or 911 if you suspect equipment theft in progress.
CyberWatch User,
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department has discontinued its use of CyberWatch as our tool to notify citizens of crimes occurring in their neighborhood. We have moved our crime mapping and crime alert notifications to a new service called crimereports.com. If you would like to continue to receive crime alert notifications, you will need to go to http://www.crimereports.com/agency/sacsheriff and sign up for your alerts again.
Some of the features of the our new crime mapping website are:
Email Elerts
You can sign up for multiple alerts and multiple addresses (E.g. Home, Work, School).
Each alert is customizable by crime area, crime types and frequency of emails.
You can also be alerted if a sex offender moves into your neighborhood.
Email provides you with a summary by crime category with a link to view the crimes on the online map.
Fast Google™ Mapping Technology
The new crime mapping system uses fast Google™ maps and features.
You can turn on/off mapping layers and satellite photos.
Registered Sex Offenders
Registered Sex Offenders information is included along with crime data on the online maps.
The sex offenders’ information and photos are accessible directly within the online map.
iPhone App
There is a free iPhone™ App in the iTunes Store™ for doing crime mapping on the go.

CERT
Introduction
Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for these services. Factors as number of victims, communication failures, and road blockages will prevent people from accessing emergency services they have come to expect at a moment's notice through 911. People will have to rely on each other for help in order to meet their immediate life saving and life sustaining needs.
When participants have completed this training, it is important to keep them involved and practiced in their skills. Trainers should offer periodic refresher sessions to reinforce the basic training. CERT members should receive recognition for completing their training. Communities may issue ID cards, vests, and helmets to graduates.
FEMA supports CERT by conducting or sponsoring trainings for members of the fire, medical, and emergency management community. The objectives are to prepare attendees to promote this training in their community, conduct trainingss at their location, conduct training sessions for neighborhood, business and industry, and government groups, and organize teams with which first responders can interface following a major disaster.
Conclusion
CERT is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. Through training, citizens can manage utilities and put out small fires; treat the three killers by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock; provide basic medical aid; search for and rescue victims safely; and organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective.
