Crime Prevention Information!


What should do if you discover you have been a crime victim?
Often responding police officers discover that crime victims have mistakenly destroyed evidence which would be important in solving the crime, or have severely delayed reporting crimes,resulting in criminals getting away. We hope you will not suffer a crime or its effects, but if you do…
1) DO NOT GO IN if you come home to find a door or window broken or standing open on your home. Back away to a safe location and call 911 so officers can check the house to make sure the thief is not still there.
2) Call 911 IMMEDIATELY if you see ANY crime in progress, so officers can be dispatched quickly. (ex: finding a burglar in your home, seeing someone stealing from a car or property, crime of violence)
3) BOLT the DOOR. IF your business suffered an Armed Robbery and the robber has left, secure the door so he cannot return. Ask customers to remain since they are witnesses and additional victims. Do not allow any new customers in.
4) DO NOT CLEAN UP or straighten the mess. Whether it is a theft from your car, a burglary to your home or business, or an armed robbery at your business. Everything is important. Let officers see and record what was broken or turned over. There may be latent fingerprints, blood, etc, that can be processed and the scene needs to be documented for court.
5) Finally – Practice Prevention every day. Lock everything that can be locked, secure valuables from view, both in the car and at home. Keep records and photos of your valuables and their serial numbers.

Dear Homeowners,


I hope everyone is having a enjoyable winter, especially, with these mild temperatures. This week the temperatures are going to dip below freezing on occasion, so please take the necessary precautions to protect your hose bibs and customized flowers.

-A standard hose bib cover or some isulation and duct tape can be found at Lowes or Home Depot for a low price.

-A sheet or light blanket can protect your plants from the freeze.

I hope these tips help!
