 CRIME PREVENTION TIPS
DISPLAY YOUR ADDRESS!
Be
sure to have your address displayed on both the front and rear of your home.
USING A
CELL PHONE TO REPORT EMERGENCIES!!
Do you know when you use a cell
phone to call 911 sometimes the call will be
forwarded to the wrong dispatch center?
Why?
Because cell phones use
airwaves to connect you to whoever you are calling, if
you are on the border of two separate counties there is a chance the call may
take you
to the wrong county which could cause a delay in emergency response.
So..... If you use a cell phone to
call for help make sure you provide the 911 center with the
exact location including county and town you need help in.
VALUABLES
INSIDE YOUR VEHICLES
Police recommend you do not
leave valuable items inside your car. Cell phones, Ipods, Cd's, DVD
players, Money and other valuable items are attractive to thieves. Try not
to leave any of these items inside your vehicle. If you have a radio with a
removable face plate, take the time to remove it before you exit your vehicle.
