Summer Crime Watch
Summer is here and the kids are out to play! With the water rehabilitation project still underway we have tons of construction and parked cars on most every street. It can be hard to see around the equipment and stockpiles so please drive slowly and watch out for our kids, joggers and walkers. Don’t get distracted!!
Vacation safety tips for when you’re about to travel
Resist the urge to mention your trip on social media. You don’t want to tip off a burglar that you’re away from home.
Make an inventory of your valuables, including serial numbers and photos
Stop the newspaper and mail, or ask a trusted neighbor to pick them up.
Park your car inside the garage - and ask a neighbor to park in your driveway occasionally
Put at least one light on a timer
Arrange for your lawn to stay trimmed
Lock all fence gates (especially if you have a swimming pool)
