Crime Prevention 10 Residential Burglary Prevention Tips from the Wichita Police Department:   1.      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. 2.      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.) 3.      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. 4.      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. 5.      A dog that will bark at strangers but won’t be a nuisance to your neighbors is a good deterrent. 6.      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. 7.      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. 8.      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”. 9.      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. 10.  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. You are our eyes and ears. You can make a huge difference in a Safe and Secure Community. It starts in your homes and neighborhoods. Stay security conscience! Maintain multi-layers of security for your family and your home to reduce the chance of becoming a victim. THEFT FROM VEHICLES This is a crime of opportunity, and in most cases the victim is providing the opportunity. Thieves are watching! This type of crime takes literally seconds to commit. Let's not give these criminals the opportunity. Removing the valuables from your vehicle can greatly decrease your chances of being a victim. Here’s a test: Do you have any of these top stolen items in your car right now? Purse GPS Unit Wallet IPOD Laptop Cell Phone GARAGE DOOR OPENERS! Leaving these items in plain view increases your chances of being a victim. Other things to do to reduce your chances of being a victim are to park in well lit areas at night if possible, lock your doors, roll up all your windows, and be aware of surroundings. IDENTITY THEFT Thieves can obtain your information many ways, don't make it easier for them. Here are some general rules to reduce your risk of having your identity stolen: Mail Theft Shred important documents that are trashed Bring in your mail every day Use a drop box Put mail and newspapers on "hold" while on vacation   The Web Always use trusted websites Never reply to emails from strangers If you get a phone call or an email from your credit card company stating your account has been breached, do not give out information they should already have. Call back to a number you know Follow this simple rule, "If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is." Set up a "Fraud Alert" through one of the credit reporting agencies.   Helpful Numbers to Remember Triad Council Mental Health Association  -  685-1821 ext. 297 Emergency Reporting – 911 D.
