Residential Burglaries Lock all doors and windows when going out, even if it’s for “just a minute.” If you have an alarm, use it! If not, consider purchasing one. Make sure you let people know you are home if someone knocks or rings your door bell. Close garage doors, unless in and around the garage Upon returning home, if you notice a door or window open that wasn’t like that when you left, do not enter your home. Call 911!

Vehicle burglaries Prevent Becoming a Victim: Do not leave valuables in car, especially in plain view Do not leave windows or sunroof open Do not leave doors unlocked Do not leave keys in the vehicle Do not leave the garage door opener in plain view Do not leave documents in vehicle which may contain sensitive, personal information Do not move valuable items to trunk while in public view Park your vehicle in the garage if possible  

Vehicle burglaries DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN THE VEHICLE! A thief will break your window on the chance that something of value is in that “unknown” bag, box, package or jacket pockets. Park in a well light area of the parking lots. Be aware of your surroundings as well as people loitering in/around vehicles.
