Helping Prevent Crime Is a Job for Everyone
Law enforcement and the judicial system alone can’t solve the crime problem. Citizen efforts are the key to crime prevention.
Break-ins happen much more frequently than most people think - and it's always a devastating experience. The Safety, Health & Consumer Council has developed a guide as a way to help promote safety and prevention awareness. This guide includes key steps and preventive measures that can go a long way in keeping home safe and secure while everyone is away.
