Lock your Doors and Windows!
You would be surprised how many people don't lock their doors and windows! A great number of burglaries occur because people don't secure their homes properly!
Other Suggestions
- Get an alarm system or ring doorbell with cameras! If you can't afford one, at least put up a sign saying you have one!
- Put your porch light in front of your house and in the backyard of your house on a motion sensor!
- Get a dog!
- Keep the bushes in front of your windows trimmed!
- Provide keys or access codes to your local beat officer!
- Lock your car!
- Roll up the windows of your car!
- Park your car in the garage! If you can't, turn on the front outside lights, people are less likely to steal or break into your car, if illuminated!
- Do not leave your garage door opener visible on your visor! Put it in your glovebox!
- Don't leave your purse or other valuables visible in your car. Put them in the trunk!
- Download the App "Next Door" from Google Play Store. or the Apple App Store!
Crime Prevention Suggestions
Remember, Police Officers can’t be everywhere at once. Get to know your neighbors! The cars they drive, the family members who live in the their house, hours they are gone at work, dates they are going on vacation, etc. And when you see something suspicious or a strange car parked in front of their house or in their driveway, call the Police!
Get to know the Police Officers assigned to your neighborhood. Your cooperation with them is for the benefit of you, your family and your neighbors!
Start a Neighborhood Watch Program!
There’s safety in numbers and power through working with a group. You’ll get to know your neighbors better, and working with them you can reduce crime, develop a more united community, provide an avenue of communications between police and citizens, establish on-going crime prevention techniques in your neighborhood, and renew citizen interest in community activity.
You can start a Neighborhood Watch Program by contacting your local Police Department.
