Summer Safety Tips

If you see a crime in progress always call 911

If a crime has already happened, use the

non-emergency number (483-4600) to call for help

Here are some summer crime prevention tips you may find helpful!

1.  Keep you home and garage doors locked both when you are home and when you not.

2.  Stay alert to suspicious people and activity on your street or in the neighborhood.

3.  Cover any gap between the door and your door frame with a latch guard.

4.   Turn on your exterior lights at night and install motion-detector lights to make your   pathways and doors visible.

5.  Cover your garage windows so burglars cannot see in.  This holds true for your home.

6.   Don’t enter your home, if you suspect someone has broken in.  Go to your neighbor’s and call 911 immediately.

7.   Do not leave valuables in your vehicles or the doors unlocked.

8.   Check the identification of all solicitors, meter readers and repair persons prior to allowing them into your home.

9.   Be suspicious of an alleged deliveryman with a wrong address or asking if someone else lives at your home.

10.  Be suspicious of anyone wanting to earn money by cleaning your home or just tries to get you to open the door.  Remember your door can be easily pushed in, or a second or third person could be standing near your door, out of your sight.
