Secure Your Home, Protect Your Vehicle and Build a SAFER Community

Home Security:

• Lock all entry points: Secure doors and windows every single day, even when you at home.
• Improve outdoor lighting: Install motion – activated lights around your pathways and entry points to deter prowlers.
• Manage Spare Keys: Never hide keys under doormats or outdoor plants; leave a spare key with a trusted neighbor instead.
• Protect packages: Stop porch pirates by scheduling deliveries securely or having a neighbor retrieve package promptly.

Vehicle and Property Safety:

• Lock your car: Always lock your car doors and take the keys and fobs with you, as many thefts happen because vehicles are left unlocked
• Remove Valuables: Practice a nightly routine to remove electronics, loose change, and valuables from plain sight inside your car
• Clear Sight lines: Trim bushes down low and tree branches up high so intruders have nowhere to hide near your house.

Community and Personal Awareness:

• Stay alert outside: Avoid using headphones or staring at your phone in public spaces so you can remain aware of surrounding
• Report suspicious activity: If you see something unusual or dangerous, trust your instincts and contact local law enforcement right away
