Personal Safety. Changes you can make to improve your safety at home and in public. How to respond to a physical attack.

Fraud Prevention. While many companies that use the telephone to sell goods and services are reputable, some use phony prizes and deceptive sales tactics to defraud consumers. You can protect yourself by being aware of the most common types of deception, by checking out the companies before doing business and by taking the time to carefully consider any purchase.

Safety For Senior Citizens. Senior citizens are more vulnerable to crimes such as purse snatching, mugging, and fraud. You can reduce opportunities of becoming a victim by being careful and alert.

Robbery Prevention. While we cannot prescribe a potion or cure-all to rid your business of armed robbers, there are ways to discourage them and to minimize the chances of violence through sound business practices and proper employee training. This brochure outlines basic armed robbery deterrents, which can be practiced as a minimum line of defense.

A Guide to Home Security. Most home burglaries are amateurs looking for easy targets. They’re looking for homes that present the least risk of detection, the greatest opportunity of gain, and the maximum potential for escape.

What is Suspicious?. No police department can function effectively without the concerned assistance of responsible citizens. Police are depending upon you to call and report whenever you observe suspicious persons or actions.
