Advisory

Dearborn Police reminds residents to secure their homes. Keep doors & windows locked, use outdoor lights, see email for further.

- Turn your porch light on and use other outdoor lights.
- Keep all windows locked
- Keep all doors locked
- Use deadbolt locks on exterior doors
- Never leave valuables in plain sight
- Keep your bushes and lawn neatly trimmed
- Use light timers for interior lights while you are out
- Keep your garage door closed and locked
- Get to know your neighbors
- Trust your instincts. If it seems suspicious, report it to police

Report any unusual or suspicious circumstance to the Suspicious Activity Hotline @ 313.943.3030. Callers speak directly to a police dispatcher and may remain anonymous.
