Combat Auto Theft
This program is designed to help reduce the number of auto thefts in the City. Citizens complete a vehicle ownership affidavit stating they do not drive the vehicle(s) between the hours of 1AM to 5AM. Citizens are given a CAT Sticker which is placed on the back of their rear windshield. An Officer who spots a vehicle with this sticker between the hours indicated is authorized to conduct a traffic stop to identify who is driving the vehicle. This program is run statewide and is free of charge.
Interested persons can contact the Palm Bay Police Department VCOPS at (321) 953-8987 or the Palm Bay Police Department Neighborhood Policing Unit via email at NPU@pbfl.org to register.
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
Business owners, our Neighborhood Policing Coordinators offer a free security assessment of your business property. The assessment is completed using Nationally recognized CPTED principles.
