By practicing the following prevention tips you will greatly reduce your chances of becoming a victim. Do Not leave your vehicle running to warm up in your driveway or in the parking lot while your run into the store. Park in a garage, if at all possible (park in a driveway, if a garage is not available) Never leave valuables in your car! Utilize good lighting to illuminate the area around your vehicle Always lock your vehicle Report any suspicious activity to the police by calling 911 Typically these incidents are crimes of opportunity and convenience. This means that if all items of interest for a thief are removed, chances are that the crime would not have happened. You are responsible for the item(s) that you leave in the vehicle. We need your help to fight the growing number of auto burglaries. Please CALL 911 if you hear or see something suspicious in your neighborhood. Remember, criminals don't care about the cost required to replace something, and they usually smash out windows to get in, and can be gone in less than a minute. These are a few of the items that are typically taken from vehicles: Stereo or Speakers, CDs or Tapes, Money, Radar Detectors Purse or Bag, Wallet or ID, Tools, Clothing Bills or other papers, Cell Phone, Check Book, Other Electronics Any documents left in your vehicle that have your name and/or personal information can be used by criminals to steal your identity. This can result in your credit history being ruined at a great expense to you.     10 Residential Burglary Prevention Tips from the Wichita Police Department   If a person knocks on your front door in the middle of the day who you do not know, consider doing something that would let them know that someone is home, without opening the door. If you say nothing, they get the impression that no one is home and get the green light to break into your home – putting you or other occupants of your home in potential face to face situation.   If you own any of these three items – FLAT SCREEN TELEVISION, GAME SYSTEM, LAPTOP COMPUTER – write down the make, model and the serial number of these items so they can be provided to police if your home is broken into. This info can be entered into a nation-wide computer database, showing your items as stolen property. Having this information for the police officer can greatly increase the chances of having your property returned to you if it would be recovered. (These are the most sought after items that residential burglars look for.)   Stop the delivery of any newspapers to your residence while you are gone. Several newspapers in the driveway is an indication to burglars that the occupants are gone for multiple days.   If you are going out for the evening, leave the TV on, as well as a few select lights, so it appears someone is home. The glow from the TV screen can be seen easily at night from outside your home by potential burglars.   A dog that will bark at strangers but won’t be a nuisance to your neighbors is a good deterrent.   Install motion-activated lights to cover both your front and back doors. The light going on might alert a neighbor to look your way and your neighbor could be a potential witness that could call 911 that a burglary in progress in occurring.   If you or a family member is a user of a social media site, like Facebook or MySpace, be sure that no information posted would indicate you are away from your home. Some burglars monitor these internet sites and look for this information to help them select potential locations to break into.   If you see suspicious activity, and your safety is not a consideration, do not approach the people and tell them that you are calling 911. Call 911 discreetly and tell the dispatcher that the activity is "in progress". This will let the officers have an opportunity to catch them in the act and hopefully make an arrest. You would be surprised at the number of well-intentioned people that warn the criminals that police are on the way and they are long gone when we arrive.   Burglars have to decide which house to break into – walk around your house and compare it to others on your block. Ask yourself – is my house an easier target than others on the block? If so, take steps to "target harden" your house, such as install deadbolts, install better lighting, trim tree limbs and bushes away from windows.   Don’t advertise what you own. During the daytime, a burglar can easily run into the garage to steal property while you are in the backyard or busy in the house. During the night there are certain burglars driving around just looking for open garage doors. Your golf clubs or string trimmer will be easily pawned or sold for a fraction of what you paid for them. The nighttime burglars target the vehicles parked in the garage looking for keys in the ignitions to steal the cars. The nighttime burglars are also looking for purses and wallets left in the vehicles and use the credit cards before the victim knows the burglary has occurred. Most victims believe nothing like this happens in their neighborhood, but the nicer neighborhoods are the neighborhood targeted.     TEXTING WHILE DRIVING Effective 01-01-2011, fines can now be assessed reference the new Texting while driving law. Any person(s) witnessed by an officer texting while driving can be cited with the new municipal ordinance, 11.38.390B ___________________________________________________________________ SEAT BELT LAW KSA 8-2503,  This is the new primary seat belt law. The following are some of the main points of the new law. 1. The new primary enforcement (doesn't require another violation) is applicable only to the front seat adult occupants of the vehicle. 2. Rear seat adult occupants also are required to wear a seat belt, but these are secondary offenses (another violation has to have occurred and a citation issued for that violation).  3. Subsection (b) of this statute (KSA 8-2503) pertaining to children age 14 or older and less than age 18 remains unchanged. These are still primary violations regardless of where they are seated in the vehicle and are not subject to the June 2010 warning period. 4. The child restraint laws in KSA 8-1345 remain unchanged. They remain primary violations and fully enforceable.     Know Your Money There is an increasing problem with a variety of denominations of counterfeit bills being passed in "our community" to individuals and retail establishments, especially during the holdiay season.
