Altadena Sheriff’s Station Launches Program to Protect Rebuilding Homes

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has launched a program aimed at protecting homes under reconstruction in Altadena, asking residents to register their construction sites for increased patrol monitoring.

The Altadena Station’s Construction Check Program seeks to deter theft of building materials by having deputies monitor registered properties more closely. Property owners currently rebuilding are asked to provide their address, phone number and construction company information.

“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department-Altadena Station is committed to working hand-in-hand with our community to deter and prevent crime,” the station said in a social media post announcing the initiative.

Residents should indicate whether construction is active and provide the construction company’s name and phone number when registering. The information will allow deputies to identify legitimate activity at construction sites.

The program relies on community participation beyond just registration. Station officials emphasized the “See Something, Say Something” approach, encouraging vigilance from all residents.

Property owners can register by emailing altadenahomecheck@lasd.org. The Altadena Sheriff’s Station is located at 780 E. Altadena Drive and can be reached at (626) 798-1131.

The station described the effort as part of ongoing community partnerships to reduce crime opportunities and maintain safety in Altadena.
