10 Crime Prevention Tips
Keep your family safe in your community by following these tips:
 CRIME PREVENTION |
Prevent Assault- Teach children how to reduce their risk of being victims of violent crime. Insist on knowing at all times where your kids are, what they are doing, and who they are with.
- Get involved. Volunteer to help in community and neighborhood anti-crime and other community improvement efforts. Encourage groups you belong to -- religious, civic, social -- to help stop crime.
- Use common-sense tips to reduce your risk of being a crime victim. Stay in well-lighted, busy areas; travel with a friend if possible; walk in a confident, assured way. Avoid known trouble spots.
- Report crimes and suspicious activities to police; agree to testify when necessary. Stand up for what you believe in.
- Get to know your neighbors and agree to look out for each other. Get organized; work with the police.
- Find ways to settle arguments without violence. If you resort to violence to settle disputes, this is what you will teach your child. Be a good role model.
- Use common courtesy. It helps ease tensions that can lead to violence. Teach your kids that good manners are important.
- Don't carry a weapon. You lose, whether you use it or it's used on you.
- Don't support illegal activities, like buying stolen property or using illegal drugs. It's the wrong message to send a child, and it involves you in criminal activity.
- Volunteer your home as a reliable source of help for kids who are scared or need assistance.
