Educate Yourself on Crime Prevention Techniques:
·
Contact the Mitchell Crime Prevention Unit
for information on how to make your home more secure, mark your
personal property and maintain personal security.
Know Your Police:
· Know
the location of the police department. Memorize the phone
number. Get to know and support your local police officers.
Report Any Crime:
· Report
any crime or suspicion of crime at once.
· No
violation is too small to be reported.
· You
can’t assume that someone else has already reported it.
Stay Informed:
·
Follow the news. Keep posted on local crime
problems.
· Attend
public meetings.
· Get
to know the local crime situation and what’s being done about
it.
Work With Others:
·
Support groups, especially those working with
young people, to foster a sense of neighborhood and build
character for those that have active programs that help prevent
crime.
Support The Whole Legal Process:
· The
police courts, prisons and rehabilitation programs need adequate
facilities and proper staffs to carry out their vital community
service.
Obey the Laws Yourself:
All the laws… all the time! Avoid questionable
situations that may prompt breaking the law. Support law
enforcement and the court system.
Set a Good Example:
· …for
others – especially your children. Teach them that laws are NOT
made to be broken. Encourage them to join you in anti-crime
activities.
Cooperate:
· …fully
with law enforcement officials. Report suspicious activities.
Be willing to register complaints and appear as a witness.
Remember:
· You
are the Key to winning the war against crime! |
