Alert Program
The CRA Alert Program aids members in the identification and recovery of stolen or converted equipment. The program relies on the use of email for timely notification to members; to prevent multiple member crimes, and help law enforcement apprehend perpetrators.
CRA members and interested law enforcement agencies are notified of any equipment theft, conversion, or persons who have used fake ID and/or stolen checks.
The process begins when members submit a theft or conversion report to the CRA office. The Alert program then emails details of the theft to member rental centers. In addition to this timely response, the alert is posted to the CRA website. Occasionally we are contacted by agencies looking for the owners of recovered equipment.
Remember: the program begins to work when you submit your Alert report to CRA at Alert@CalRental.org or fax to (916) 570-1384. Download and print your copy of the Alert reporting form, and keep it handy. (Reminder: CRA's Alert Program is for members only.)
