Security & Safety
Want to prevent crime, raise property values and create a more visible police presence in our neighborhood? Join us in continuing the CLENA Expanded Security Program! This year, we've lowered the price of entry to encourage participation and make the neighborhood safer for everyone.
With an annual donation of $350 per household, you’ll help provide patrols of uniformed off-duty officers in DPD vehicles at times they’re needed most. You can also split your donation into two payments of $175, due Jan 1 and June 1.
Donate at the $500 Sustainers Level to ensure we reach our goal. Or for $700 you can Pay for You and a Neighbor! Just let us know the address you want to sponsor.

We had a very successful Founding year and hope to grow the membership level this year for this important security service.
Home Watch Services
ESP participants can request a courtesy security visit for their home when they’re away. So whether you’re out of town or your home is under construction or for sale, you’ll have get an extra set of eyes to ensure everything is secure. This may include:
• Patrolling your street/alley
• Walking your property looking for unusual occurrences
• Visually checking doors for disturbances
• Looking for packages, newspapers and door flyers
To request Home Watch Services, simply download the Home Watch Request Form and submit the completed form at least 5 days before the start date. This is a service only for participants of the ESP who are current in their dues.
So please, support this valuable program to ensure the security and safety of this place we call home.
The ESP is a voluntary program funded by participating residents of Casa Linda Estates. Patrol officers are hired as private security, paid an hourly rate which covers a uniformed officer and DPD patrol car, and scheduled in 4-hour shifts. Weeks include two shifts per week and we were able to add a shift during the holidays in November and December. With more participation, we hope to provide more patrols per week, all year-round.
