Menlo Park PD

Retail Theft Crackdown in Action! Our officers are actively responding to and addressing shoplifting incidents along El Camino Real. Shoplifting is NOT a victimless crime — it hurts local businesses, raises prices for everyone, and will not be tolerated in Menlo Park. Quick action and strong community partnerships are making a difference! Thank you to the vigilant store employees, the good Samaritan, and our officers (Ofc. Garcia and Ofc. Hardaway) for their fast, professional response. We’re committed to keeping our shopping areas safe. See something? Say something 🚨📲 Call MPPD immediately. #MPPD #MenloParkPD #RetailTheft #CommunitySafety #MenloPark #ElCaminoReal
