Frequently asked — breaking & entering
Frequently asked questions
Does mobile patrol really prevent break-ins?+
Visible marked-unit presence at randomized hours is the single best deterrent for commercial burglary. Burglars surveil targets before they hit them; a patrol vehicle that shows up on a non-predictable schedule kills the surveillance window.
What happens if your officer finds a break-in in progress?+
Standing protocol is to maintain a safe distance, dispatch Sacramento PD immediately, capture vehicle plates and suspect description, and provide a sworn-quality incident statement to responding officers. Our officers do not engage armed suspects.
