Mt. SAC Public Safety and Sheriff's Department to Offer Theft Prevention Tips

Mt. SAC Public Safety and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's departments are teaming up to spread the message that cars and trucks in high-capacity parking lots are vulnerable to thefts.

The campaign is designed to heighten employee and student awareness of thefts and encourage them not to leave personal belongings exposed in their parked vehicles on campus, according to Mt. SAC's Facebook page.

On Tuesday from 9 a.m. to noon, both campus officers and sheriff's deputies will post flyers on the windshields of parked cars and trucks that provide theft prevention tips. They also plan to talk to students and employees about the importance of protecting personal belongings on campus - in offices, classrooms, and at food or concessions venues.
