Hot cars can be deadly.

A quick stop isn't worth the risk. Never leave a child or pet alone in a parked vehicle, even with the windows cracked.

🔒 Stop. Look. Lock.

Before you walk away, check the back seat and make sure everyone is out of the vehicle.

If you see a child alone or in distress inside a vehicle, call 911.

Stay cool, Santa Barbara!

Did you know you can text 911 in Santa Barbara?
Text-to-911 is available throughout Santa Barbara and can be an important option when making a voice call isn’t safe or possible.

Text 911 when you need to:

• Stay quiet to remain safe
• Report an emergency discreetly
• Contact 911 if you are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech impairment

How to Text 911:

1️⃣ Enter 911 in the “To” field
2️⃣ Text your exact location and the type of emergency
3️⃣ Send the message
4️⃣ Answer the dispatcher’s questions and follow their instructions

🚨 Whenever it is safe to do so, a voice call to 911 is preferred. Text messages may take longer to send or may not be received, and location information is not as accurate as it is with a voice call.

📌 Remember: Use simple words and avoid abbreviations, emojis, pictures, or slang. A text or data plan is required to use Text-to-911.

Save this post so you know what to do if you ever need it.

Thank you to Camp Elings for inviting SBPD to be part of your Community Helpers Week! 🚔

Officer Duffy spent time with campers sharing what officers do, how we help our community, and important safety tips, including roadside and helmet safety. Campers also got a chance to check out a patrol vehicle and learn more about the equipment officers use every day.

We always enjoy connecting with young community members and appreciate the chance to spend time with the campers at Camp Elings!
