Piedmont Police Offer Crime Prevention Tips
The Piedmont Police Department has produced flyers “Keeping Piedmont Safe: 10 Tips to Better Crime Prevention at Home.” Advice is offered about locks, landscaping, lighting, and alarm systems. Emphasis is placed on cooperating with neighbors to increase safety.
Video surveillance systems are recommended focused on approaches to the residence as well as interior vulnerable points. These systems can assist the Police Department in crime investigation following an incident in the neighborhood.
When no one is home, a radio, television or simulated barking dog can create the impression that occupants are present. When children are alone at home, they should not give that information to anyone at the door or on the phone.
The “Keeping Piedmont Safe: 10 Tips to Better Crime Prevention at Home” flyers are available at the Police Department.
