Crime Prevention

The Murrieta Police Department has created a series of articles on crime prevention covering a wide variety of topics. These articles offer advice on preventing crime for both businesses and individuals, as well as tips to increase your own personal security. We hope you find the information contained within these articles helpful in establishing a greater sense of security in an already safe community!

Explore this section to read the articles online. The articles have also been put into pamphlet form for you to print and read at your convenience; feel free to use the pamphlets for whatever needs you may have.
