Security Alert
CRIME ALERT
On Friday January 25, 2013 - a car was vandalized in the church parking
lot and a purse was stolen. This crime was similar to the incident that
happened last year.
Be aware of your surroundings and of people loitering in our parking lots upstairs and below. Don't be afraid to
alert the school office to anything suspicious. There are a
lot of little things you can do to reduce your chances of being a
victim.
Police officers in Ventura County suggest you hide your valuables and
lock your vehicle. They also suggest you harden the target as much as
possible and be aware of the people around you. We suggest you do not
leave any valuables in your car at anytime as this is an opportunity for
a crime to occur.
Be Diligent
The
parking lots on campus and at the church are not always visible to us.
Therefore, this is a reminder to refrain from keeping your valuables in
your vehicle and certainly not in plain site.
