In this month-long recognition of safety, the city will be providing weekly tips to help keep our community safe. Whether at home, work, or in our communities, safety is a shared responsibility, and together, we can make a significant impact.
SAFETY TIP:
Always keep the doors locked and windows up, even when the car is parked in your driveway or front of your home. (This is also a good idea when you are driving.) Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts.
Car thieves sometimes check door handles, so to be sure, stand by your car when you lock it and listen for the ‘clunk’ as it locks. On most models, the indicator lights should flash, and the wing mirrors may fold inwards. It’s worth checking even if you’re just leaving your car for a few moments.
