Crime Prevention Tip of the Month

Secure Your Home With Good Lighting

Ensure that all entry points to your home, such as doors and windows, are well-lit at night. Install motion-sensor lights around the exterior of your house. Good lighting deters potential burglars by increasing the chances of being seen by neighbors or passersby. By keeping your home's exterior bright and visible, you make it less attractive to criminals looking for an easy target.

Police Week 2024

We Honor The Heroes Who Have Passed

Traffic Safety Tip We all find a time when we struggle to stay awake while driving. Whether its late at night and we're trying to make it home or early in the morning and we did not sleep well the night before. Don't Drive When Drowsy! Fatigue can impair your reaction time, judgment, and awareness just as much as alcohol. If you feel tired while driving, pull over to a safe location and rest. It's better to arrive late than not at all.
