News

The Crime Reports I've sent recently indicate thieves in our area are interested in our vehicles. Please take precautions to make your vehicle a hard target.

• If at all possible, DO NOT park your vehicle on the street
• If you must park your vehicle outside LOCK YOUR VEHICLE
• DO NOT leave any personal/valuable items in your vehicle
• Park in a well lit area - thieves don't like light
• TURN YOUR PORCH LIGHT ON so you can easily see what is happening in your yard & your neighbors yard and always call 911 about any suspicious activity
