Keeping your cell phone safe from hackers By: The Roseville Police Department Your cell phone holds a lot of personal information, from passwords and bank accounts to emails, photos, and messages. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, hackers can steal your identity, make purchases with your money, or gain access to your email and social media accounts. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers the following tips on how to protect your phone from hackers: 1. Lock your phone One of the easiest ways to protect your phone is by locking it when you're not using it. Set up a PIN or passcode with at least six digits. Many phones also allow you to unlock it using your fingerprint, face, or retina. By locking your phone, you’re keeping prying eyes out of your personal data. 2. Update your software Operating systems are updated regularly to protect against new security threats. Always keep your phone's software up-to-date by enabling automatic updates. The same goes for your apps—regular updates help close security gaps that hackers could exploit. 3. Back up your data Backing up your data ensures that if your phone is lost or stolen, you won’t lose access to important information like contacts, photos, and messages. Depending on your phone type, you can back up your data to the cloud or your computer. 4. Use phone finder services Apple and Android devices have built-in services to help locate your phone if it's lost. These features can also lock your phone remotely or even erase your data if you believe it's been stolen. Be sure to activate this feature in your phone settings. Following these simple steps can better protect your personal information and keep hackers at bay. With so much sensitive data stored on our phones, a little prevention goes a long way. Keep your phone secure to avoid headaches down the line.

Learn more about Public Power Week The City of Roseville has received questions from the public about Placer County Transportation Planning Agency's (PCTPA) South Placer Traffic Relief ballot measure. So we're sharing answers to some frequently asked questions. What is Measure B and why is it on the ballot? Residents of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln will have the opportunity to vote on Measure B in the November 2024 election. It’s a 30-year half-cent sales tax that would provide a local transportation funding source to support $1.58 billion in road and highway improvements to address congestion. This would create a local funding “match,” which is required in order to access funding from the state and federal governments for transportation projects. Placer County currently does not have a local funding match, but 26 other counties do. The South Placer region is one of the most populous regions in the state without a local transportation sales tax funding source.

9-1-1 Public Safety Newsletter for October 2024
Admin posted a article in Crime Prevention News Bulletins
October 1, 2024 Be careful driving on Halloween Kids love Halloween. Is there anything more fun for a child than to dress up in their favorite Halloween costume and stay up past their normal bedtime? With so many trick-or-treaters out at night, the potential for automobile-related accidents with young pedestrians increases four times this night according to a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study. Since children are preoccupied with the night's excitement, motorists must take extra precautions when driving on Halloween night. Here are a few tips to remember: Don’t use a cell phone or other electronic device. Even with hands-free devices, a driver’s attention is not focused on driving when talking on the phone. Avoid distraction by waiting until you’re parked to call, text, or surf. Drive below the posted speed limit in residential areas during trick-or-treating hours. Watch for children darting into the street. Kids can cross the street anywhere, and most young pedestrian deaths happen at spots other than intersections. Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway. Children could be crossing the street, or parents may be dropping off children. Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully. At twilight, and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing. Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic, and turn on your headlights earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances. The prime time for trick-or-treaters is between 5:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Keeping kids safe on Halloween With all the fun Halloween brings, children may forget many of the safety rules you have taught them. Therefore, it is important to carve out some time before your children head out the door on Halloween to remind them of the rules you expect them to follow. Never get into a stranger’s car no matter what the person says. If your child is old enough to go out with friends, make sure that they have a pre-programmed cell phone with all important numbers, plan and review their route, and give them a time you expect them back. Children and adults are reminded to put electronic devices down, keep head up, and walk don’t run across the street. Tell your child to only go to homes with an outside light on, and never enter a home or car for a treat. When crossing the street remind your child not to assume drivers will stop. Motorists may have trouble seeing trick-or-treaters. Just because one car stops doesn't mean others will. Tell your child not to eat any of their treats until you have checked them. Law enforcement should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity. Join us for coffee and conversation, no agenda or speeches, from 9 - 11 a.m., Wednesday, October 2 at Fourscore Coffee House, 325 Lincoln Street. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, voice concerns, and get to know the officers that serve your community. Securely save those unused and expired medications for the next free take-back day. Drop off medications from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Saturday, October 26 at Roseville Highschool (1 Tiger Way) or Sun City (7050 Del Webb Blvd.). For more information, visit roseville.ca.us/DrugTakeBack. If you can't attend the event, you can find a permanent drop-off location at the US Department of Justice. Join us from 1 - 3 p.m., Thursday, October 17 at the Riley Library, meeting rooms 1 and 2 to learn how to be more aware of what cyber criminals do to get into your computers and other electronic devices, as well as tips to help keep yourself more cyber secure. How to avoid Amazon impersonator scams Americans receive up to 150 million robocalls per month from scammers impersonating Amazon employees. With so many people using Amazon on a daily basis, it’s no wonder scammers are targeting these shoppers. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) one version of the scam has the victim receiving a call, recorded message, or text stating that there’s something wrong with their account. The problem could be a suspicious purchase, a lost package, or an order they can’t fulfill. The scammers tell their victims that they need information like your Amazon password or your credit card information. If you receive an unexpected message like this, the FTC has the following recommendations: Do not press ‘1’ to speak with customer support. Do not call the phone number they gave you. Do not give out your personal information. What should you do instead? Hang up or ignore the message. Check your Amazon account and credit card statements to confirm any fraudulent charges. If you think there is actually a problem with your account, contact Amazon using a phone number you know is real. Report the scam using FTC’s online form. If you are a frequent user of Amazon or any online retailer, be vigilant. Never give out your personal information to someone who calls or texts you. Always be suspicious of unexpected calls or messages. If you take these precautions, you can sit back and enjoy your online shopping experience. Roseville residents scammed Beat: 1 Date: August 14 Neighborhood:Stoneridge The victim stated that on 8/14/2024, at approximately 0947 hours, he received a text message from someone he believed was his boss requesting that he purchase gift cards for him.

The victim was instructed to put the gold in the car through the window and then the vehicle drove away. The victim was told by the male that he would get a check for the same price as he paid for the gold ($69,802.24). On 8/20/24, the victim attempted to call the male to see when his check would come but the number was disconnected. On 8/20/24 at about 1151 hours, the victim looked up the FTC website and was advised it was a scam, where people pretended to be part of the FTC and requested money from others.
