Crime Prevention Tips

 

 

 

Alcohol / Drugs

 

 

 

Be responsible, if you drink, DO NOT DRIVE!

If you serve alcohol, make sure that your guests make it home safely.

Don’t serve alcohol to under aged children

 

We all must share the roads, don’t risk the lives of others or yourself.  It is not a good idea to mix Alcohol with other activities like boating or swimming.  If you drink, do it in moderation and don’t drive or put yourself and other at risk. 

 

 

·        DO NOT use illegal drugs 

·        DO NOT drive and endanger the lives of everyone if you have consumed alcohol or drugs.

·        If you are under 21 years of age, IT IS ILLEGAL to consume or possess alcohol.

 

If you have any information on illegal drug activity call our tip line at 248-524-0777.

 

Larceny

 

Ø      Always keep control of all your property.

 

Ø      Your belongings are not safe while you are playing sports or at work unless you have them properly locked or are in possession of them.

 

Ø      Thieves wait for the right time and will take property quickly.

 

Ø      Unfortunately you cannot always trust co-workers or other business associates.

 

Ø      Do not rely on others to watch your belongings.  If they fail, you will be the victim, not them.

 

Ø      Be cautious of who you allow into your home. If you invite guests that you really do not know into your home you are inviting trouble.
