_____________________________________________ 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! Larcenies
from Autos / Car Theft
Things that
can be done to combat auto theft and larcenies from autos include: Ø Installing a car alarm. Ø Using steering-wheel locking applications
like the club etc. Ø Applications of a hidden kill switch to
the ignition system. Ø Park in a well lit well traveled area if
possible. Ø Always maintain security of vehicle keys.
Ø Do not leave anything of value
in your vehicle in plain view. Ø Always lock your vehicle doors. Ø Never leave a vehicle unattended while
running. Ø There is a trend of things being stolen
from vehicles in the parking lots of fitness centers and fun centers. While
going to these places, be extra careful to remove all items of value and
secure your vehicle. 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. Retail
Fraud
All store personnel should be trained on the store
policy that deals with retail fraud (shoplifting) and how the company wants
them to respond. Store personnel should have the phone numbers to call
readily available if they suspect retail fraud or any other crime. A lone employee should not try to apprehend retail
fraud suspects themselves. Call your
Mall Security or the Troy Police Dispatch Center at 248-524-3477 for
in-progress crimes or assistance apprehending fleeing criminal suspects. Surveillance
video has shown that cameras that are obvious to criminals are a good
deterrent to crime. Criminals can be
seen trying to hide from the camera, or dropping the merchandise they tried
to steal when they spotted the camera. The Troy Police offers training to store personnel on
theft prevention and detection, fraud, and other retail-related crimes. Contact the Retail Liaison at 248-524-3464
for more information. ______________________________________
