A Precinct 5 Deputy will come to your home and review the bad situation. They are thrilled security measures to better secure your property. To request now to be moving back into their this service, please call Lieutenant Mitch Hutter with Precinct 5 at 281-704-6825. beautiful, remodeled home. • ●Set your home alarm when you are home as well as when you are away – even if you are going to be gone for just a few minutes. • If you can, set up cameras. Criminals do not want their face, clothing or other distinctive markings on videotape. It makes it too easy to catch them. • Lock your fence gates with a padlock. Criminals are looking for properties they can access easily. • Pick up your packages at delivery company facilities. Yes, it is inconvenient, but you will receive your package safely. • Request a vacation watch when you travel. Our Deputies will visit your home looking for signs of entry, ensuring your security. You can find the form on our website and can fax or email it directly to Precinct 5. • Pick up your newspapers daily. Whether you want them or not, papers, notices, flyer and such end up on your door, front porch and yard. Even if you are home, a collection of these items on your property gives the appearance that you are not. • Be aware when you are driving around the neighborhood. If you see a person or vehicle that looks suspicious, please call Pct 5 at 281-463-6666. They will investigate and might even prevent a crime before it occurs or catch a criminal in the act of one. • If you must park your car in the driveway or on the street, remember to lock your car door and remove all visible items from it. A blanket in the back seat can be an invitation to someone who believes you are trying to hide something expensive from view. • Do not leave your car running. If you need to go back into your home “for just a minute”, turn your car off and take the keys with you. 4 10 Meyerlander Meyerlander Monthly - March - December 2013 2016 CopyrightCopyright © © 2016 2013 Peel, Peel, Inc.
