Crime Prevention Tips

Do not leave valuable articles in plain view in your automobile and lock your car when you leave it. Remember to take your keys with you.

Lock doors and windows in your home.

If you are working in the yard, lock the doors on the opposite side of your house. If you are in the rear, lock the front and while in front, lock the rear.

When you are going to be away for an extended period of time, stop mail and newspaper delivery.

Place lights on timers in different locations throughout the home.

Notify a trusted neighbor of your absence and where and how they can contact you in case of an emergency.

Call police whenever you see something suspicious. Call when you see it, not two or three days later.

Video tape the interior of your home and show all items; especially valuables. Keep a list of model and serial numbers on everything that has a number.
