New bait house program
The Atherton Police Department announced an initiative to deter would-be burglars by deploying decoy devices at “bait houses” at areas in town identified as having higher burglary rates. These decoy devices are equipped with state-of-the-art surveillance technology allowing law enforcement to monitor and respond swiftly to break-ins, according to police.
Those interested in participating in the Burglary Prevention Bait House program, can email Jennifer Frew at jfrew@ci.atherton.ca.us or call 650-752-0503.
Atherton police’s Officer Igor Davidovich is also now working with K9 Maverick, according to a news bulletin.
