Advisory

Criminal Activity Alert - Burglaries and Attempts - Report Suspicious Activity and Incidents Immediately- more info @

There has been a rise in residential burglaries and attempts in our area during the evening hours. The suspect/s are entering mainly through doors that are kicked in or pried open. Make sure you secure your residences when no one is home and secure your doors. If you have an alarm system make sure you activate it, even if you’re just running out for a few minutes. Security cameras are a great tool. Check your system now to make sure its functioning properly before an incident may happen. Its getting dark earlier and that can provide thieves the cover of darkness they like to operate. Adjust your light timers accordingly to illuminate your residence and deter an intruder.

Most crimes are prevented or criminals are caught when the public assists the Police by reporting suspicious persons and activity. Advise your neighbors as well to secure their homes and to report suspicious activity. The eyes and ears of the community are of great assistance in preventing and solving crimes.
Please report any suspicious activity immediately when it is observed.
Any suspicious activity can be reported to the police desk 201-327-5300 or by calling 9-1-1

The following tips may reduce your chances of becoming a victim;
 If you have an alarm system, update it, and use it.
 Second story windows should be alarmed.
 Leave interior and exterior lights on to make your home appear occupied.
 Leave a television or radio on inside your home.
 Please remove jewelry and valuables from the bedrooms.
 Remove safes from the master bedroom and their closets.
 Lock ALL doors and windows. We find many unlocked doors.
 Lock any unoccupied vehicles and remove the key fobs from them.
 Remove mail and newspapers from your driveway the day they are delivered.
 Secure any ladders on your property.
 Lock any unoccupied vehicles and remove the key fobs from them.
