SPRING BREAK HOME SECURITY

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON LEAVING TOWN DURING SPRING BREAK, THE PRESCOTT POLICE HAS PROVIDED SOME SIMPLE TIPS TO KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE WHEN YOU ARE AWAY.

· MAKE SURE YOUR HOME IS SECURE BEFORE LEAVING, BY CHECKING AND LOCKING ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS, AND SET THE ALARM IF AVAILABLE.

· SUSPEND YOUR MAIL SERVICE, NEWSPAPER, AND ANY SCHEDULED PACKAGE DELIVERY TO KEEP THIEVES FROM TAKING THESE ITEMS.

· AVOID ANNOUNCING YOUR PLANS OF BEING AWAY TO OTHERS OR ON SOCIAL MEDIA. STRANGERS COULD THEN KNOW YOUR TRAVEL PLANS AND THAT YOU ARE AWAY FROM HOME.

· TALK TO YOUR TRUSTED NEIGHBORS: HAVE THEM KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR HOME WHILE YOU’RE AWAY.

· SECURE YOUR VALUABLES: MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THEM IN A SECURE AREA AND KEEP ALL FIREARMS LOCKED UP AND OUT OF SIGHT.

IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT THE PRESCOTT POLICE DEPARTMENT.
