Twin Lakes Police: Safety Tips

HELP THE POLICE - HELP YOUR NEIGHBORS - HELP YOURSELF

A couple of very simple, basic precautions will go a long way in helping
the police and yourself protect your family and your property:

  • Keep valuables out of sight (PDAs, Laptops, CDs, briefcases, and
    fancy stereos)

  • Lock your car (in your garage if possible, and certainly in your
    driveway)

  • Close and lock your garage

  • Investigate suspicious noises - or call the police - immediately.  
    Don't wait until morning

  • Leave your yard light on all night

  • Report suspicious persons or cars to the police immediately

  • Make sure all the outside lights to your home are in good working order and illuminated at night or use motion detector lights.

  • Lock all doors and windows.

  • Leave interior lights on when you're gone.

  • Keep your vehicle locked at all times and valuables out of site or removed from vehicle.

  • Get an alarm for your home.

  • Have someone mow your grass, shovel your snow, pick up your mail to give the appearance someone is home.

  • Have someone you trust check on your property while you are gone.

  • Put your bicycles away at night and lock them up if you plan on leaving them unattended for any length of time.

  • Call 262-877-2191 to report suspicious activity.

    These simple guidelines apply to both commercial and residential
    properties and will help keep Twin Lakes a safe community.
