Updated mobile App for San Jose

Posted on by Greg Peck

The mobile device app, My San Jose, used to report issues to the city has a new name, look, and features. It is now called San Jose 311 and offers the additional following features:

    • Quicker access to paying bills
    • Clearer instructions to help you describe the issue
    • Updated map to make it easier to choose a location
    • Improved user experience and simpler language
    • Modern look and feel

Get San Jose 311 at the App Store, Google Play

Do not use this App for actual emergencies! For actual emergencies or crimes in progress, dial (408)277-8911 for direct access to  SJ emergency dispatch for police, fire, or medical response. Dialing 911 from a mobile device is first routed to CHP and then back to San Jose delaying response times.

First General Meeting of 2020

Posted on by Greg Peck

Hello, Neighbors. 

Our first meeting of 2020 is next week, Thursday, 7:00 p.m. Again, we are holding the meeting in the gym building of the Los Paseos Elementary School – a close walk-to place, or a quick drive-to place. Check our meeting agenda, with lots of new information for you!

  • An update from SJPD on current Crime Stats in our neighborhoods
  • An update on the CALMS camera project – discuss the good, accumulative effectiveness of the program so far
  • An update from District 2 Office on upcoming events, completed projects, plans for the future
  • San Jose’s Environmental Services Department – residential recycling.  Recycling markets have changed, prompting questions and some confusion around current practices. The presentation covers how to recycle properly, new tips and information, and how San José is responding to global shifts in recycling markets, particularly China’s National Sword policy, which restricts imports of certain recyclables.  
    • What goes where… Bring items of which you have questions

Identity Theft

Posted on by Greg Peck

As we enter into the holiday season, it is sad that we must remind folks that grinch package thieves are on the prowl. More so than other times of the year. Along with these actions are mail theft, as well as ID theft. Regarding ID theft, I came across this article worthwhile sharing, Clues to look for if you suspect ID theft

Earlier in the year I also suggested to sign up for the USPS informed delivery service. If you haven’t done so, get on it and strengthen your oversight of mail delivery to your home address. Alternatively, research locked mail boxes, or a PO Box at the USPS, Postal Annex, or similar stores offering mail reception services.

Updated Important Numbers

Posted on by Greg Peck

Within the site resources page of Important Numbers provided by the D2 office and the City of San Jose website, it now includes the information published by SJPD. The list of numbers published by SJPD includes Crime and Safety information, apps to report problems within the City of San jose (My San Jose), as well as services provided by the County of Santa Clara. The second page details the information required to report a crime. The more detailed information provided, the better!
