SCPD BURGLARY PREVENTION TIPS!
(Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design)
Help protect your home, your valuables and your family with some simple, proven methods. Some of them include:
- ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS (THIS INCLUDES YOUR CARS!)
- USE HIGH EFFICIENCY LIGHTS WITH MOTION SENSORS AND/OR TIMERS IN AREAS SUCH AS WALKWAYS, DRIVEWAYS AND ENTRANCES
- TRIM HEDGES BELOW 2FT AND TRY TO KEEP TREE CANOPIES 6 FT OR LOWER. THIS ELIMINATES PLACES FOR BURGLARS TO HIDE AND ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY OF A BURGLAR USING A TREE TO CLIMB ONTO YOUR HOUSE
- LEAVE SOME INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND EVEN A RADIO TO MAKE IT SEEM AS THOUGH SOMEONE IS HOME
For more tips, please see the attached flier. Thank you and STAY SAFE! Please remember to call 9-1-1 for emergencies and 631-852-COPS for non-emergencies!
