- Turn your porch light on and use other outdoor lights.
- Keep all windows locked
- Keep all doors locked

- 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
- Look out for your neighbors.
- Trust your instincts. If it seems suspicious, report it to police
- If you plan on being away from your home you can register your residence for the Dearborn Police Vacation House Check Program. Simply call 313.943.2241 and request to register for the Vacation House Check Program. Once registered, Dearborn Police Reserve Officers will periodically check the exterior your home and property to ensure the property is secured. You may also sign up for the Vacation House Check Program online at www.cityofdearborn.org.
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. Enjoy the holiday!
