    Crime Tips

    Burglary Prevention

    • Be alert to your surroundings and the people around you.
    • Keep your house secured, which includes closing your garage door at night.
    • Of the 29 reported burglaries during the year 2004:
      • 27 of them (93%) occurred during the daytime (6am-6pm)
      • 2 of them (7%) occurred during the nighttime (6pm-6am)
      • 8,600 break-ins a day, 1 every 13 seconds *
    • Contact the department for a House Check when you are away from home for extended periods of time.
    • Intruders hate light. A thief's greatest fear is being seen. Make sure all doors and entrances are well lit.
    • Make it tough on car thieves. Lock your car after exiting and never leave your keys in the car.
    • Thieves want cash or items easily fenced for cash. Small electronic equipment, such as laptops, CDs, cameras and jewelry should be out of sight in your vehicle.

    Other Tips

    • Don't walk alone at night and avoid areas where there are few people.
    • Teach your children not to talk to strangers and to NEVER get into a car with a stranger.
    • Have at least 1 smoke detector on each floor in your home and check its battery every 6 months.
    • Pull over to the right for lights and sirens.
    • Please buckle up. Wearing your seat belt is not only the law, but it could save your life.
