Safety Reminder and Night Out Against Crime
The Frankfort Police Department has received some reports of thefts from vehicles. In all of these recent cases, the vehicles were left unlocked. The Frankfort Police Department would like to remind community members the best way to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of these crimes is to lock vehicle doors, garage doors, and windows. Also, please do not leave valuables in your vehicle. If you have questions, concerns, or information regarding suspicious activity please contact us at (815)469-9435 or e-mail [email protected]. If you see suspicious activity call immediately!
The Frankfort Seniors on Patrol (SOP) group has been out to educate the community on safety to counteract these crimes. On 07/13/16 the seniors on patrol group went out to Frankfort’s major shopping centers to check violations of parking in handicapped parking spots and looking for vehicles with valuables left in plain view inside vehicles. If the SOP group came across someone participating in these unsafe behaviors, they were issued a “yellow card warning”. This warning is meant ot notify the vehicle owner of the violation observed and will hopefully serve as a reminder to be more careful next time. The SOP group gave out 12 “yellow cards” in just a one hour detail.
Frankfort’s “Night Out Against Crime” will be held on Tuesday, August 2nd from 6-8pm on the Green in Downtown Frankfort. This FREE family event is a great way to meet the police officers that serve your community and to join us as we take a stand together against crime. This year our event will feature “police games”, an opportunity for kids to interact with police. As usual there will be free hot dogs (while supplies last), touch a truck program, face painters, bounce houses, and more! We hope to see you there and appreciate your support!
