Crime Prevention: Reporting Suspicious
Activity
Residents of a neighborhood are in the best position to observe
suspicious activity in their given area. Because of the familiarity with
their neighbors, residents have a good idea of what is "usual" in their
area and what is "unusual". Persons who seem "out of place" or who are
acting in a strange manner may be involved in some type of criminal
activity. The type of behavior exhibited can help to determine if a
crime may, in fact, be in progress. Is the individual prowling about a
neighbor's yard? Is he/she looking into windows or attempting to get
into a house? The more information that you can provide to the police
department, the easier it is for officers who are responding to locate
the individuals involved, and deal with whatever type of activity that
they may have been involved in.
You, as residents, can be the eyes and ears of the police department.
You can help us to keep your neighborhood safe. The following sheets may
help you to provide us with as much information as possible in
responding to situations that may come to your attention.
