As retail stores expand their hours and holiday shopping increases, additional Clovis Police officers will be on patrol to deter crime and ensure everyone stays safe.

Officers and other police personnel will circulate through parking areas, drive along the retail corridors looking for anything suspicious, and provide extra protection for shoppers in Clovis as we enter the holiday gift buying season. These additional patrols will continue through Christmas Eve.

We would like to remind people to lock their cars, take their valuables with them, put packages and anything else thieves might want to take in the trunk (before arriving at the next store), and be aware of their surroundings. Other tips include park in well-lighted areas; use the panic button on you have an emergency at your car; ask a security guard to escort you to your car; shop with a friend or spouse; and report any suspicious activity you see.

If you see suspicious activity or a crime in progress, call law enforcement immediately. In Clovis, we are available at 911 for emergencies, and (559) 324-2800 for non-emergencies. Have a safe & enjoyable holiday season!
