Back by popular demand, the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Vehicle Theft Task Force, is hosting another “Etch & Catch” event.

This is a free catalytic converter etching service designed to help prevent vehicle theft and enhance community safety.

The event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Santa Clarita City Hall, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, CA 91355.

Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to have their catalytic converters etched with a traceable identification number by law enforcement personnel. This proactive measure serves as a deterrent to thieves and increases the chances of recovery if a theft does occur.

The event is free and open to all Santa Clarita Valley residents. While walk-ins are welcome, RSVPs are strongly encouraged to reserve a spot. A limited number of free vehicle anti-theft clubs will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.To reserve a spot, please scan the QR code.

Together, we can make a difference in preventing vehicle theft in our community.
