Hello,

Electronic devices, namely cell phones, are often the object of desire by thieves.  You can lessen your chances of being victimized by practicing the following:

  • Refrain from using your cell phone in public, such as walking down the street or on public transportation.
  • Do not leave your cell phone out in the open, such as on the table top next to you.
  • Never leave valuables, especially cell phones, in plain view in your vehicle….even for a second!
  • Keep your electronics concealed by keeping them in your pocket or purse.
  • Be aware of your surroundings.
  • Share the attached flyer with friends and family.
