 Crime is an action or omission which
constitutes an offence and is punishable by
law. It is is an illegal action or activity for
which a person can be punished by law..
What is Crime Prevention?

It is an act to be done in order that a

crime could not happen. Crime prevention is
everybody’s concern. We have to join hands
in order to lessen crime in our community if
not totally eradicate it.
How to keep your family safe
 Make sure you and your family know the
general whereabouts of all members of the
family for the day.

 Instructall family members household help

not to entertain strangers at the gate or on
the phone.
 Teach your family and household help to verify
the identity of phone callers before identifying
themselves.

 Never give out information on the whereabouts

of family members to just anyone on the
phone.
 Have standing order that a designated
family member be contacted in an
emergency or if there are dubious characters
at your door or on your phone.

 Be aware of phone swindlers who call in and

report that one family member has been in an
accident and is asking for the family member
or household help to bring cash or other
valuables to a certain place.
 House help applicants should be asked for
clearance and ID pictures. It would be better
if they are recommended by a relative or
friend.
 How to Keep Strangers Out

 Verifythe identity of callers at your gate

before opening the door.

 Never admit strangers under any pretext.

Transactions should be made at the door to
minimize view of house layout.

 Ensure that all doors and windows have

locks that are in working condition.
 Keeponly the door that is used to enter the
house open; all other entry points to your
household should be securely locked to
prevent unnoticed entry into your home.

 Make it a habit to check all doors and

windows are locked at night before going to
sleep.
 Duringstormy weather, double check doors
and window locks.

 Never tempt potential offenders with a full

view of your house; install curtains or cover
appliances and other expensive equipment.
Do Not Fall to Cellphone Snatching

 When in public places, refrain from

displaying your cellphone unnecessarily.

 Never lend your cellphone to strangers who

may approach you to make emergency
calls.
 Do not resist hold-up men or snatchers. Do not
panic. Follow their instructions but remain calm
enough to remember their description and the
directions they took in escaping.

 When inside establishments, offices, or

restaurants, do not leave your cellphone lying
around on tables, on top of cabinets or even on
chairs beside you.
 When paying for purchases in stores or
supermarkets, do not leave your cellphone
on the counter. Place it on your bag or
pocket.
It is through crime prevention where we can
lessen crimes in our society. Don’t be a victim.
Take note of the following preventive measures
from PNP and share them with the community
you are residing in or in the place where your
NSTP instructor will assign you in the second
semester. Take note also the different modus
operandi of criminals so that you will know
what to do to prevent the commission of crime.
