_____________________________________________ Crime Prevention Tips
Ø If you would like to have the security of your residence
or business inspected please contact the Troy Police Crime Prevention Officer
at 248-524-3464! Fraud Prevention:
Ø Remember that nothing that is worth
anything is free. Ø If someone that you do not know offers to
do you a favor, they probably have an ulterior motive. Ø Never give any personal information out to
an unknown source over the phone or Internet. (If someone
asks for personal information, ask to speak to his or her supervisor and
inform him or her you will be calling the Police to make a fraud report.) No reputable business will call you
or email you for this information!!! Ø If you receive a phone call or email
telling you that you have won something that you did not apply for, it is
more than likely a fraud. Ø No legitimate organization will ask for
any money or a Credit Card number in order to claim a prize Ø Protect yourself against identity theft by
shredding all documents and safe guarding your account numbers, social
security numbers and credit card numbers. Ø Always maintain your credit cards and
secure the credit card numbers. Ø If you suspect that you have been the
victim of credit fraud, call your credit card company and have them run a
query of your charges. Ø Never give your bank account
numbers over the phone. Especially if unsolicited! Identity theft continues to be the
fastest growing crime in the world, and the city of Troy is no exception. We
continually get reports of identity theft and fraud on a regular basis. While it may not be totally avoidable,
detecting the early signs of identity theft is one of the best ways to avoid
extensive losses and damage to your credit history. If your wallet/purse etc. gets stolen,
cancel all stolen credit and ATM cards immediately. Checking your credit history regularly is
a great way to keep appraised on the status of your credit. Here are three sources for checking your
credit history: (The
titles are links to the webpages) 1-800-525-6282 1-888-397-3742 1-800-680-7289 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. Harassment and Stalking
If you are being threatened, stalked or harassed by
someone, consider obtaining a Personal Protection Order. For more information, click here. If you have a Personal Protection Order against
someone, do not contact him or her in violation of the terms of your own
order, it may make the order unenforceable. If someone violates a Personal Protection Order that
you have, contact the Police immediately.
If the Officers arrive and the person is still there, they may be able
to take immediate enforcement action. If you are receiving harassing, threatening, or
annoying telephone calls, you should make a police report. After making a report, the SBC Annoyance
Call Bureau will initiate an investigation.
They will require a case number, the dates and approximate times of
the calls, and some contact information from you. It is a good idea to begin keeping a log of
these calls as soon as they begin. ______________________________________
