¨ Leave either the TV or radio on.
¨ Leave a car in the drive. (Locked of course.)
¨ Own a dog – Burglars hate dogs.
¨ Install an alarm – burglars hate alarms
¨ If you are going to be away for a few days tell your neighbour and Neighbourhood Support coordinator.
¨ If you don’t belong to a group give me a ring and I will direct you to your nearest coordinator. Join with your neighbours in making your street a safer street.
Is there a Neighbourhood Support sign on a telegraph pole near you? If not there probably isn’t an organised group in your vicinity. It has been proven that Neighbourhood Support does prevent crime.
It would be great to have the whole of Okareka covered by groups but we need you to want it. Be proactive and give me a ring.
