WHAT IS SEAC?

SEAC stands for Swanston Estates Against Crime.
SEAC is a neighborhood association, made up of neighborhood residents and neighborhood businesses. SEAC’s
members include renters, property owners, apartment complex managers, and local business owners. We are located in the area bounded by Arden Way, Ethan Way, El Camino and the Capitol City Freeway.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF SEAC?

To make the neighborhood a better place to live, by establishing and maintaining communication between our members, law enforcement, the City Council, city agencies, local businesses, and other neighborhoods.

To prevent crime in our neighborhood.

To provide a way for all members of our neighborhood to get involved in what is happening around us.

WHAT ARE SEAC’S ACTIVITIES?

SEAC provides a volunteer Citizens Patrol that patrols the neighborhood in cars and reports suspicious activities to the police, using a mobile phone.

SEAC coordinates the Neighborhood Watch program in our area, through block captains, to enhance safety and crime prevention.

SEAC publishes a newsletter, the Neighborhood News.

SEAC holds membership meetings four times per year.


WHAT CAN SEAC DO FOR ME?

If you are experiencing a problem that you can’t seem to resolve, we can help. SEAC maintains relationships with the city police department, our city council representative, the sheriff’s department, the city traffic division, code enforcement, and other neighborhood associations.

We’ve been successful in getting things done as a group that we could not have accomplished as individuals. Our elected officials pay attention to our concerns, because we are organized and we represent votes!!

Since it was formed in 1992, SEAC has been able to clean up apartment complexes that were havens for criminals and drug dealers; get stop signs and speed bumps installed on our streets; negotiate issues of mutual concern with Arden Fair Mall and the City of Sacramento; and more. Now, we are working with the City of Sacramento to let the residents of our area know about city code violations,


WHAT CAN I DO FOR SEAC?

Come to a meeting, tell us what your issues and concerns are, and meet your neighbors. You can volunteer to become active in the Neighborhood Watch program on your block, or volunteer for the citizens patrol; or contribute items to the newsletter. You can join us in making this a better place to live!
