What you can do:


• Keep your car locked when it is parked. Don’t make it easy for a thief to get in.
• Do not leave items in your vehicle. Even small things like pocket change and inexpensive
sunglasses are tempting to a thief. Place items in your trunk before you reach your destination.
• If possible, park your vehicle in well-lit areas on the street.
• If you have a garage, use it. Park in a garage whenever possible.
• If you see suspicious activity (a person trying car doors, etc.) or a crime in progress, call 911 so
officers can be dispatched to the location.
• Report crimes by calling 911. (They may refer you to 311 to take a report.) Please call 911 if:
¾ you see suspicious activity;
¾ a crime is happening; or
¾ you have suspect information.
• Make a commitment to watch out for each other.
• Practice simple crime prevention strategies to help avoid becoming a victim of crime.
