Recognizing Suspicious Activity

Suspicious Vehicles:

Vehicles can be considered suspicious if they are:

  • slow moving with headlights turned off
  • following a course that appears to be aimless or repetitive – especially if occurring around a school, park or playground
  • parked cars containing one or more persons, especially at an unusual hour
  • abandoned vehicles containing weapons
  • property in vehicles – especially suspicious when the property includes items not normally found in vehicles.

What are the possible significances of these types of vehicles? The subjects(s) may be:

  • casing with the intention of committing a robbery or burglary
  • involved in drug activity
  • a sex offender

Other types of suspicious activity involving vehicles can be:

  • subjects attempting to forcibly enter a locked car
  • subjects detaching mechanical parts or accessories for a vehicle
  • business transactions conducted from a vehicle, especially if near a park or school and involving juveniles
  • subjects being forced into vehicles
  • objects thrown from vehicles, especially while traveling at high speeds. \
  • What are the possible significances of these types of activities? The subject(s) may be involved in:
  • burglary, theft or malicious mischief
  • drug sales
  • business license violation
  • kidnapping
  • disposal of contraband
  • garbage dumping

SUSPICIOUS PERSONS:

People can be considered suspicious if they are:

  • going door-to-door in residential areas – look for subjects checking to see if front doors are locked, especially when another subject remains near the street as a lookout.
  • non-residents going into back or side yard of a house
  • waiting in front of a house or business – this can be especially suspicious if owners are absent or the building is closed.
  • forcing entrance to or tampering with a residence, vehicle, etc.
  • running from property
  • carrying property – if someone is carrying valuable property or if it is at an unusual hour
  • unfamiliar subjects to the neighborhood – or subjects that seem to have no purpose wandering about
  • exhibiting unusual mental or physical symptoms

What are the possible significances of these types of people? Subjects may be involved in:

  • casing homes or businesses
  • soliciting violations
  • burglary, theft, vandalism, or trespassing
  • fleeing the scene of a crime
  • drug activity

SUSPICIOUS SITUATIONS:

Some examples of Suspicious Situations include:

  • continuous “Repair” operations at a non-business location
  • property being removed from or placed into vehicles or buildings – suspicious when from homes in which the owners are known to be absent or from closed businesses.
  • open or broken doors or windows – at closed businesses or residences in which the owners are absent.
  • unusual noises – including gunshots, screaming, fighting, abnormally barking dogs, anything that suggests foul play, danger, illegal activity
  • a large amount of human traffic to and from a certain residence
  • accumulation of large amounts of valuable property in homes, private garages, storage areas, etc.

What are the possible significances of these types of situations? They may involve:

  • stolen property, possibly being stripped, repainted, or otherwise altered
  • business license or zoning violations
  • the scene of a burglary in progress or completed burglary
  • assaults, fights, threats, etc.
  • drug activity

Isn't it a great day to get outside? Today the Crime Suppression Unit (CSU) stopped by Warren T. Eich Intermediate School at lunchtime to hang out with the students and play a little, uh, Bottom's Up! We asked them who won, but they declined to answer... ... See MoreSee Less

Volunteer spotlight: Paul Ward is one of our long-term volunteers who serves in our Citizens on Patrol (COP) unit. COP volunteers provide our popular vacation house check service, checking the outside of homes while residents are on vacation. (Give them a week's notice, please! Here's the request form: bit.ly/2F0Pl0J)

This morning Paul and his beat partner Dennis also did parking enforcement in the neighborhood around Roseville High. COP volunteers provide extra patrol and police visibility in parks, help at special events, and much more. Our volunteers greatly enhance our level of service in Roseville. On this National Volunteer Week, be sure to give them a friendly wave and say thanks for all they do!

Could you guys come over and tow the car that's been parked across the street from us for over a week now that does not have a permit to park there

Thanks Paul!

I called to have a car towed once...I knew it was there forever because there were cobwebs attached to the tires that you could see very plainly. Probably abandoned.

Thanks for your assistance Paul, Dennis & the rest of the team!

This is an absolutely great program! I live in Auburn and sadly, this PD has struggled with getting a good volunteer program up and running to better serve the community and assist the officers on patrol.

Update: Bus moved, roadway open!
****************

Oops! This bus got stuck on a concrete curb exiting McDonald's on Harding. Officers have stopped traffic in both directions, and a tow truck is en route. Should be cleared up soon.

I really like that Fish & Chips place.
