Crime Prevention Tips 

Safety tips for traveling in your car

  • Have your car keys in hand when approaching your vehicle.
  • Look under the car as you approach it to be sure no one is hiding under it.
  • If a person gets near your vehicle causing concern, turn around and walk away.
  • Consider attaching a loud whistle to your key chain so you can use it if necessary.
  • Look in the back seat before getting the into car; be sure no one is hiding there, even if you locked the door earlier.
