Subject: October is Crime Prevention Month – Safety Tips from the Demarest Police Department
Dear Residents,
As we transition into the fall season and the evenings begin to grow darker earlier, the Demarest Police Department would like to take this opportunity especially during October, which is Crime Prevention Month to remind everyone of the importance of taking proactive steps to protect your home, vehicle, and personal property.
Historically, this time of year brings an increase in opportunistic crimes such as burglaries and thefts from vehicles and porches. While our officers remain dedicated to patrolling and monitoring our neighborhoods, your awareness and participation are essential in keeping our community safe.
Please take a moment to review these crime prevention best practices:
🏠 Secure Your Home
💡 Exterior Lighting
🚗 Vehicle Safety
📦 Package Deliveries
👀 See Something, Say Something
Last year, thanks to one resident's quick action in reporting a suspicious individual taking a package, officers were able to respond quickly and apprehend a suspect with a history of package thefts. Your awareness truly makes a difference.
We appreciate your cooperation and continued efforts to help keep Demarest safe. If you have any questions or would like more home security tips, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Stay safe,
Acting Chief Frank Visaggio #433
Demarest Police Department
