🚨 Community Safety Alert – Oakdale Police Department 🚨
The Oakdale Police Department is reminding all Oakdale residents to take extra precautions in securing their property.
Over the past several days, our region has experienced numerous incidents involving vehicles being entered and, in some cases, stolen. At this time, it is believed these incidents may be connected and potentially organized in nature.
Criminals tend to look for situations where access is quick and effortless. Please do your part to protect your property:
-Lock all residence doors and windows
-Secure garage doors at all times
- Remove valuables from vehicles
-Lock vehicle doors, even when parked in your driveway
-Residents should also be aware that some offenders may utilize inexpensive but sophisticated technology - such as radio frequency signal jammers to disrupt Wi-Fi networks and disable security cameras, including doorbell cameras
If you observe any suspicious activity, suspicious vehicles, or individuals prowling in your neighborhood, do not hesitate to call 911. Even what may seem like a minor detail could assist officers and lead to an arrest.
Stay alert.
Stay secure.
Thank you for helping keep Oakdale safe.
