TIPS TO PREVENT OR SLOW DOWN BREAK-INS

Dear Residents,

After reading about porch pirates, break-ins and assaults, I thought I would share some paraphrased comments made by Gina Perez (Crime Prevention s P o l i c e Department) and Manuel Barela (Las Vegas Metro Crime Prevention Summerlin Area Command). Even though you can't prevent someone from stealing a package, here are a few tips to slow the thief down and make the theft harder to accomplish:

• Make arrangements with the delivery company to deliver when you are home.

• Ask for tracking numbers and delivery notifications.

• If not at home, ask a neighbor to pick up your package.

• Install a smart camera at your front door

• Request a signature on a delivery if possible.

• Have the delivery company hold for customer pickup.

• Use a locker service.

• Deliver to a store that will accept packages.

• Finally, know your neighbors and their vehicles and report suspicious vehicles and activity to the North Las Vegas Police Department's nonemergency number 311.

Here are a few tips to prevent or slow down break-ins:

• Acknowledge anyone at your door. This doesn't mean you need to open your door; you can speak through the door If they ask for you by name, and it is the wrong name, let them know they have the incorrect address and watch as they leave. If they demonstrate suspicious activity when they leave, call the police. They may try your neighbor next to see if anyone is home.

• Install a wide angle door viewer replacing the small peephole on most doors. Install a smart doorbell and set up monitoring.

• Replace the strike plate on your door with a security strike plate using screws that are 3 to 6 inches in length.

• Break down all boxes that contained electronics or high value items and place them in the trash container or black plastic bags.

• Consider adding an under doorknob security bar to the front door.

• If you have a monitored security system, use it. When leaving the house make sure the garage door is down.

• Take different routes away from the house and sometimes return in a few minutes to double check your house.

• Also, we have several Lunch 'n' Learns, which provide valuable information about security enhancements that are available at our Community Center.

Now let's go shopping.

• As you leave the store, the first thing you do is start talking on your cell phone, right? Wrong. You need to be aware of your surroundings. Starting your car and talking on the phone doesn't let you control your safety The car is still unlocked and someone can enter without a problem. Wait a few minutes until you are in a locked car before using the cell phone.

• You leave the mall store with several packages and put them in your car before heading back to another store. Upon returning, your car was broken into and the packages were gone. Someone was watching the parking lot for a quick grab and go. Instead of going back into the mall, cover the packages and move your car to another area in the parking lot before continuing shopping.

• When you go for that morning or evening walk, don't do it alone. Find a buddy to go along with you. Two or more are harder for an individual to attack than one. Again, be aware of your surroundings. Don't put yourself in jeopardy of assault.
