• Safest big county in the state, but still on guard (thecamarilloacorn.com) — Agoura Hills is highlighted as one of the few low-crime outliers compared with the rest of Los Angeles County, even as nearby Ventura County posts the lowest crime rate among large California counties. The piece urges residents across the Conejo Valley to stay vigilant during the holidays with neighborhood watch efforts, basic home-security steps, and close cooperation with local law enforcement to keep crime from creeping back up.
