Arnold, CA…*Prior to the meeting, the Sheriff’s Office had a lengthy discussion with Neighborhood Watch coordinators to ensure precautions were in place to ensure social distancing was respected. When social distancing was not possible, masks were to be utilized. The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office was asked to attend a Neighborhood Watch Meeting on August 30th, 2020, outside in the driveway of a residence in Blue Lake Springs. Topics included how to organize a neighborhood watch group, security cameras, home alarms, exterior lighting, securing yard equipment, what to do in a fire evacuation, ensuring to lock doors and windows, not opening the door for someone you don’t know, the use of automatic timers to turn on the lights when you and your family aren’t home, and other basic home security measures.

The Sheriff’s Office strives to continue to work with our citizens on the importance of community-oriented policing to enhance the overall safety of our community. The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the meeting organizer and persons in attendance for their hospitality and support.
