Why a Security-focused Organization in Lower Montclair?
Seemingly peaceful and quiet most of the time, there is criminal activity in our lovely neighborhood that can go unnoticed by many until crime strikes close to home - a neighbor, a friend or your own family. Most crimes tend to occur based on the opportunity to do so. Those opportunities can be defined as:
- Wealth/Goods
- Distracted Potential Victims
- Low Risk of Capture
We've got all the risk factors for opportunistic crime and this necessitates additional resources beyond the protection of the Oakland Police Department (OPD), in order to keep crime at bay.
Lower Montclair Security Association provides our community those additional resources in two areas:
- Response to any suspicious incident, normally much faster than OPD can respond.
- Private Security Patrol is a deterrent, reducing residential burglary and preventing the geographic spread of commercial district robberies into the residential area.
