2 Crime Prevention Tips Crime can happen any day to any one regardless of where they live, what they do for a living, or who they are. Although people live under the threat of crime every day, there are steps that one can take to help prevent them from being as easy target. Being aware and prepared can help many avoid the various dangers presented by criminals seeking easy targets. The following crime prevention tips can help individuals and families take control of their lives and households to help make them less of a target for criminal activity. Home Security and Safety Follow strict security procedures in the home, such as locking all doors and windows when leaving, even if it s just for a short time. Learn to recognize who belongs in the neighborhood. Report suspicious activity to the police. Provide visibility around the house by leaving lights on after dark or having motion detector lights around the property. This ensures that there are no dark areas around the house in which a person could hide. Always lock doors even if someone is home. Unlocked doors are the easiest way for a criminal to enter a household. Never let anyone know that there is one person alone in a house at any time. Do not tell people at the door this information. Also, do not post this information on social networking sites. Vehicle Security Try to park in well lit, open areas, and in view of security camera. The more populated and secure the area, the less likely a robbery will occur. Never leave valuable items out in the open in a vehicle. Either remove them from the car or place inside the glove box or under seats where others cannot see them. While driving, keep doors and windows locked to prevent a carjacking. Also, always lock car doors when leaving a vehicle. When walking back to a parked car, look underneath vehicle and in back seat after entering a car to make sure no one is under or in the car. Do not leave helmet or riding equipment with a motorcycle after parking it. Cover a motorcycle when unattended. Many thieves look to steal certain models and will be unwilling to risk setting off an alarm when lifting the cover. Chain and lock bicycles to a secure unmovable item when leaving it unattended Geographic s for Response Area 2 Hickory Grove Division s Response Area 2 consists of approximately 7.5 square miles of area and 76 street miles.

5 Seasonal Prevention Tips Home Holiday Security Tips The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department would like to provide you with some home security tips. 1. Make sure your home is well lit. Turn on outside lights, spotlights, motions lights, etc. Leave several lights on timers while you are away to give your home that lived in look. 2. Keep all shrubbery trimmed. Do not allow shrubbery to conceal windows or doors. 3. Remove anything a burglar could climb up on to gain entry or use to knock out a window or door; items such as ladders, tools, tables, and chairs. 4. All exterior doors should be solid, rather than hollow core. 5. Don t leave garage roll down doors open, even while you are home or while you are doing yard work. 6. Use a deadbolt lock to secure your doors. A good deadbolt should have a 1 throw, if you have glass within 40 of the lock a burglar could reach in and unlock the door. A double cylinders lock (this type needs a key on both sides to unlock) should be used if glass is near the lock. 7. If you are going away contact a trusted neighbor or friend to pick up your mail, newspaper and other delivered items. 8. Try not to leave gifts in open view. This is an invitation to burglars. 9. Don t advertise new gifts or purchases. Break up cartons before leaving them at the curb or dispose of them another way the morning of trash pick up. 10. Don t forget to engrave new gifts or purchases with your Drivers license number. 11. Don t open your door to strangers. Be wary of solicitors and salespersons. If a stranger asks to use your telephone, tell them to stay outside, lock the door behind you and make the call for them. Never let a stranger inside your home.. Don t give any information about yourself or your neighbor to a stranger.
