The Sacramento Police Department is partnering with local businesses to host a FREE catalytic converter etching event. Your vehicle license plate number will be etched onto your catalytic converter(s). The etching may prevent your converter from being stolen. The presence of license plate numbers on catalytic converters can also provide police with the information needed to identify stolen property, contact victims, and apprehend and prosecute criminals.

The event takes place on Saturday, November 16, 2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Jiffy Lube located at 2900 Florin Road, Sacramento.

This event is sponsored by Jiffy Lube, The Home Depot, Cal Signs, Office Depot, Specialized Exhaust, Starbucks Coffee, and Church’s Chicken.

The event is NOT limited to those residing within the City of Sacramento and is open to everyone, regardless of where you live. Registration prior to the event is required, and space is limited.
