______________________________ Crime Prevention Tips
Home Invasion / B&E Always secure
your doors and windows. Ø
Garages and
door walls are targets for thieves. Ø
Always ensure
your garage door and pedestrian doors are secured. Ø
Do not leave
garage door remote controls in cars not parked in the garage. Ø
Use 1 ½’’
dowel rod in the track of all sliding glass windows and doors to help prevent
them from opening. Ø
It has been
proven time and time again that the proper use and application of physical
security will stop a would-be burglar. Ø
Burglary
alarms are only as reliable as the person setting them. If you have an alarm, make sure that
every resident or employee knows how to activate and deactivate it, as well
as the security code. “Traveler” or
Door-to-Door Scam Prevention 1. If a person comes to your home offering to do an inspection of some type or tells you a repair is needed, refuse the offer! It is most likely a scam. 2. Never let anyone into your home that you did not call. All utility workers will have a picture ID. If they do not or you have a doubt, even if they have some sort of picture ID, refuse to let them in. In most cases, utility workers will not have to enter your home to do repairs. 3. Never exit your home for anyone you do not know that wants you to “see what the problem is outside the home.” They are probably having you exit so an associate can enter the home to steal from you. 4. “Travelers” use work type trucks/vans often with magnetic signs and out of state plates on them. 5. Will work/scam in an area for a short time but with multiple target homes – usually targeting seniors! 6. Never agree to make change for someone. This is a popular scam used to find out where you keep your money. 7. Never agree to purchase left over materials from a contractor. This is a scam. If an offer sounds to good to be true, it is. 8. When answering the door, make sure the storm door is locked and do not open it unless you recognize the person. “Travelers” will frequently walk in as soon as you open the door and begin their distraction techniques. 9. Keep your doors locked – Even when you are out in the yard working. 10. If you have any doubts call the Troy Police Department immediately at “911.” ______________________________ Whether you need Click here to view the Troy Chamber's new eNewsletter
