CRIME NEWS: Residential Burglary Alert From The CMPD

Notice sent by the CMPD -- South Division:

We are asking residents who are leaving for vacation during the July 4th Holiday to follow these prevention tips:

Set your alarm
Use timers for lights inside the home.
Have neighbors collect your mail and newspapers
Leave a car in the driveway (Remove all valuables and the garage door opener)
Store your jewelry in a safe deposit box.
Have a neighbor or friend check your house everyday.

Feel free to contact one of your Community Coordinators for more tips and information. jkitchens@cmpd.org or swhitesel@cmpd.org.

The South Division will have extra police patrols in the area during the holiday weekend. The good news is that the South Division currently has a 32% reduction in residential burglary for the year. We have had 154 burglaries this year as opposed to 225 this same time last year. Hopefully, with your help, we can maintain this trend through the rest of the year.

Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable July 4th.

Captain R. M. Golding

South Division Commander
