Nancy Hennessy, who is in charge of constable patrol divisions, had a few security tips for the summer:
People are traveling more, so please utilize vacation watch.
Set alarms
Secure property (bikes, lawn equipment, etc.)
Keep garage doors closed so passerby's won’t be tempted to come back and steal
Be aware when you are out driving that you are not followed home
Beware of tree trimming scams and utility companies wanting access to your backyard. They get you to show them your trees or utility lines and, in the meantime, someone is in the house stealing things. Also ask for ID if you are not sure.
Remember, if you have a yard service, let them know to keep everything secure while working. It is very common to have equipment and supplies stolen from their vehicles.
