_____________________________________________ Crime Prevention Tips
ุ 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! 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. Larcenies
from Autos / Car Theft
Things that can be done to combat auto theft and larcenies from autos
include: ุ Installing a car alarm. ุ Using steering-wheel
locking applications like the club etc. ุ Applications of a hidden
kill switch to the ignition system. ุ Park in a well lit well
traveled area if possible. ุ Always maintain security
of vehicle keys. ุ Do not leave anything of value in your vehicle in plain
view. ุ Always lock your vehicle
doors. ุ Never leave a vehicle
unattended while running. ุ 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. Fraud Prevention:
ุ Remember that nothing
that is worth anything is free. ุ If someone that you do
not know offers to do you a favor, they probably have an ulterior motive. ุ 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!!! ุ 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. ุ No legitimate organization
will ask for any money or a Credit Card number in order to claim a prize ุ Protect yourself against
identity theft by shredding all documents and safe guarding your account
numbers, social security numbers and credit card numbers. ุ Always maintain your
credit cards and secure the credit card numbers. ุ 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. ุ 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 ______________________________________
