Police Tip
Try and make an effort to meet the younger kids in your neighborhood.  Knowing their names and speaking to them on a friendly platform will make it harder for them to act out. It often gives the youngsters reason to pause before making bad choices.  It will also give them a feeling of community if they know everyone knows who they are.

If you haven't already replaced the batteries in your smoke detectors and CO2 detectors please remember to do so. If you have guests/renters coming for the summer please remember to leave a list by the phone with the address listed. And above all else, please take time to properly number your house-If you have already done so and are tired of the repeated requests, could you show your neighbor a copy of this to inspire them to follow suit?
