Personal Safety and Crime Prevention information
- Knowledge is Power — Learning simple crime prevention techniques and employing them can dramatically decrease your chances of crime happening to you.
- Follow Your Intuition — If you feel that a situation is not right, move out of the situation. Be aware of your surroundings. Walk confidently and alertly.
- Zero Tolerance — Active communities are the best partners the police have when it comes to fighting crime. Showing that small crimes and nuisance activities will not be tolerated in your neighborhood sends clear signals to criminals to stay away. That means painting over graffiti, posting block watch signs and reporting suspicious activity.
