REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY
Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t seem right in your neighborhood, it probably isn’t. Be very suspicious but do NOT approach:
-
Persons walking up and down the street and/or parking lot looking into cars or trying door handles.
-
Vehicles cruising the street and/or parking lots at very low speeds for extended periods while observing parked cars.
-
Persons sitting in running parked cars for prolonged periods and vehicles dropping one person off while continuing to cruise the same area.
We prefer to check an innocent citizen going about their business than to not check and end up taking a crime report.
