[RP TownTalk] Breakins and general safety

[Audrey Bragg]

I would like to add one more tip - Adopt a Dog.   There are many looking for a job and will do a good job if you share your home with them.  When burglars hear a dog barking, they usually move on to the next house.

Friends and neighbors,
 
As has been reported to the list and elsewhere there has been 4 burglaries reported in and Ward 2 between Taylor and 51st since June 15. Police have stepped up patrols in the area and are actively investigating leads.  At times like this it is important for residents to redouble efforts to follow what is good practice all the time and everywhere:
 
1. The most important thing is for residents to call police right away at 301-927-4343 if you see suspicious activity. They are always available and will respond to the needs of residents. The more involvement we get from the community, the more effective the police can be. 
2.  Secure your homes when you leave for any reason, including locking windows as well as doors. 
3.  When you leave town for vacation, please call the Police Deparment for a premises check while you are away. We all pay for this service through our taxes; take advantage of it!
4. Home security surveys are a beneficial way for residents to have their residences evaluated by our Police Department. This can be done at your convenience by again calling 301-927-4343.
 
Best wishes and again, call in suspicious activity!
 
Vern
