Minimize Criminal Activity

1. Make sure your property is well lit at night.  Leave porch lights on at night.  Install motion lights where needed.  Criminals do not want to be seen.
2. Keep your home secured.  Keep doors, windows, sheds, & garage doors closed & locked.  Keep doors locked while at home.  Never leave your home unsecure while not at home.  Do not give criminals an easy opportunity to enter your home.
3. Keep vehicles locked & windows fully rolled up at all times while not in use.  Aleays keep valuables out of sight.  A good rule to use is to never leave anything in your vehicle that you would not want stolen.  Never leave credit cards or checks in open sight.  Always know where you keep them.
4. Shred all documents that contain any personal information.
5. Remove mail promptly from your mailbox after delivery.  If going on vacation, ask a trusted neighbor to pick up your mail, or contact the postal service to hold your mail while away.
