The Huntsville OPP would like to pass on a few crime prevention tips
– Call 911 if you witness a crime in progress or a possible crime in progress (e.g., break and enter).
– Lock It OR Lose It! Secure your vehicles & home
– Increase street visibility around your house so that neighbours and others can see if someone is in your yard or trying your door locks.
– When not at home leave lights on, get your mail collected, and take other steps to make it look like someone is home.
– Target harden your home with outside lighting, good locks, alarms, and other home protection devices.
– Reach out, volunteer, and participate in your community.
– Get to know your neighbours – organize a block party or a fall clean up.
– When you see something suspicious, don’t hesitate to call police – promptness promotes prevention.
