Expecting a package?

 Take steps to make sure you receive what you ordered!

Every year around the holidays, there is an increase in packages ordered online and delivered to

homes. This also can come with an increase in thefts when the packages are left unattended outside. Victims usually report the theft to their shippers so the police department may not know the extent

of these thefts.

Doorstep delivery can be a crime of opportunity. It could be someone following a delivery truck or it could be someone who happens to be in the area and sees a package delivered. 

In looking at the most frequently used delivery services, here are some suggestions the shippers

made.

    • Consider shipping your package to your work address, if you know that you won’t be home to receive it.
    • Bring your package inside as soon as it’s delivered.
    • Consider selecting the “signature required” option.
    • Send any FedEx package directly to a FedEx Office location near you or choose from several delivery options. You can have it held for pickup at one of the stations. You can go to www.fedex.com to find the nearest location or call 1-800-GO-FEDEX.
    • UPS also has stores that a package can be routed to and have several options for delivery choices. Their information is www.UPS.com or 1-800-PICK-UPS.
    • The United States Postal Service has a number of ways to track and secure safe delivery for your packages. You have options on how you want the package delivered as well as tracking and insuring the package. Many of their tips are similar to UPS and FedEx. More info: www.usps.com

As neighbors, if you see something suspicious such as a person picking up a package off your

neighbor’s front step or a car following a delivery van, please call 911 immediately.
