Teach your children to never answer the door not just to strangers.
Children should know how to dial 911 make it simple always tell them 911 not any other number.
Children, even young ones, should know their name, address, and phone number (put it in their cloths).
Caution teenagers about “blind dates” or meeting someone they do not know or someone they met on the Internet, we see this go bad weekly on our patrols.
Let children know they should not give out personal information, such as home address, absence of adults, etc. over the phone or on the internet or in public places.
Teach children to (Scream it) say NO to strangers or even people they know if they are uncomfortable with the situation. Most abusers are someone you and they know well.
Teach children how to get out of the house and where to go in case of emergency (hide old cell phones they all dial 911) but test first per State.
Simple Ways To Prevent and Combat Daily Crime
Use quality locks on all entrances, including service doors and gates.
Don’t leave keys “hidden” outside of your home.
Keep doors locked even when you or family are at home, yes this means the inside garage door.
If you have bars on your windows, review fire safety and escape routes with your family.
If you have a security alarm, check and use it, also buy a large noisy siren vs the common weak speaker.
Keep your garage door secured when you are at home and insure it’s closed before you leave your street.
