INCIDENT:	Oxnard Police Department Launches “Eyes on Crime” Surveillance System Registration; Axon Citizen Goes Live
DATE/TIME:	01/05/18, 9:00 a.m.
LOCATION:	Citywide
PREPARED BY:	Crystal Walker, Detective
CONTACT PERSON AND CONTACT INFO:	Crystal Walker, Detective (805) 385-7668 or Crystal.Walker@oxnardpd.org

DETAILS:

The Oxnard Police Department is asking community members, “What if YOU could help solve a crime? What if YOU could provide valuable intelligence to detectives and help close a case?”

This morning, your Oxnard Police Department launched two new ways to facilitate media collection and storage of potential evidence. The “Eyes on Crime” Surveillance System Registration encourages the public to provide video footage to help officers possibly identify and prosecute suspects of crime. By registering your surveillance system with the “Eyes on Crime” program, you give officers an idea of where they can find potential video evidence in a timely manner. This assists our patrol officers and investigators in locating video evidence immediately in case there is a need to piece together what occurred during an event or identify suspects.

All a community member or business owner needs to do is fill out a simple form, either online or by visiting the police department, to provide information on their surveillance system. Surveillance systems can be either residential or business and times they can be accessed are noted. You may remain anonymous although the Oxnard Police Department does require a method of contact (phone, email) to register. To register online, visit: https://www.oxnardpd.org/community-programs/.

If there is a concern as to the sharing of contact information, we assure community members that information provided will be for Official Use Only. The Oxnard Police Department will not provide information to any non-law enforcement agency and only then for Official Use Only. Also, the Oxnard Police Department will not use information to create a distribution list unless the information is directly related to registration.

In addition to the “Eyes on Crime” program, the Oxnard Police Department will also be offering Axon Citizen. Axon Citizen is a new way to upload evidence to the Oxnard Police Department by allowing officers to send a link where community members can safely upload media.

Axon has been a partner of the Oxnard Police Department since the summer of 2016 and has been the application used in conjunction with the body-worn cameras. Any footage officers record using body-worn cameras is uploaded directly to cloud storage where it is kept for use in court. During calls for service, officers receive media from a community member and then upload it themselves to cloud storage. Axon Citizen allows community members’ video and photos to be uploaded via a link directly to cloud storage, in effect cutting out the middle man.

As always the Oxnard Police Department is “Protecting the Community with Exceptional Service.” With these innovative programs now in place, the Oxnard Police Department hopes to facilitate collection of evidence and make any contact with community members much easier. For further information regarding surveillance system registration or Axon Citizen, contact Det. Crystal Walker at (805) 385-7668 or crystal.walker@oxnardpd.org.

DETAILS:

This morning at approximately 9:30 a.m., an undercover officer with the Oxnard Auto Theft Task Force (OATTF) spotted a reported stolen vehicle in a high crime area of Oxnard. The officer followed the vehicle, which had originally been reported stolen in Pt. Hueneme, until marked patrol units were able to perform a traffic stop. Ultimately, patrol officers were able to stop and detain the vehicle in the 2000 block of North Ventura Road in Pt. Hueneme.

After the driver was arrested, a search was conducted of his person and several shotgun rounds were located in his possession. During a search of the vehicle, several more shotgun rounds were located along with a 14” sawed-off shotgun. The shotgun had been pushed between the center console and driver’s seat.

The driver, later identified as Flavio Gasca, 09/26/93, was interviewed and Gasca admitted to knowing that the vehicle was stolen. Gasca also admitted to the possession of the shotgun. Gasca’s charges include unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle, receiving stolen property (motor vehicle), under the influence in possession of a firearm, own/possess/control a firearm in violation of probation, carry a concealed firearm in a vehicle, carrying a loaded firearm on one’s person and two outstanding misdemeanor warrants.

Based on the initial stolen vehicle report, Gasca was able to steal the victim vehicle due to a spare key being left in the vehicle with the doors unlocked. The Oxnard Police Department would like to remind residents of the following tips to help prevent vehicle thefts:

Never leave your car unlocked, not even for a minute.
Never leave your keys in the car, even if you think they are really “hidden.”
Don’t leave your car idling and unattended because it is unnecessary (it doesn’t get cold enough here), it is unsafe and illegal, and someone can steal your car.
Wheel locks, brake pedal locks and steering wheel locks are also effective.

If anyone has any information regarding stolen vehicles please contact Detective Enrique Alvarez at enrique.alvarez@oxnardpd.org or (805) 385-7664.
