We ask all residents and contractors to refrain from blowing, plowing, and/or shoveling snow into the street. This is counterproductive to our efforts to clear and salt the streets, and makes it hazardous to motorists and pedestrians.

Front Porch Package Theft |
Take some extra steps to ensure your packages are delivered safely:
- Have your packages delivered elsewhere. If it's allowed, have them sent to your office, or to a neighbor you trust who will be home during delivery
- Work with the shipping carriers. Specify exactly where to leave packages, schedule a delivery window or day, or have packages held at the facility
- Get your package delivered to a nearby locker. Check if the retailer offers this as an option, and pick up your package at your own convenience
- Consider a private mailbox. USPS, UPS and other shipping companies offer these options
The popularity of security cameras is growing, and having video or photographs of the possible suspects is helpful in an investigation. Affordable options for under $40 can be found online, as well as higher tech options such as doorbell cameras that connect to your smartphone.

|
Vehicles are stolen for a variety of reasons, including theft for parts, insurance fraud, retagging, exporting, & joy riding. Help prevent theft & damage to your vehicle:
-Always lock and secure your vehicle, including putting your windows up
-Remove key fobs
-Always activate your alarm when you leave your vehicle
-Never leave keys in your vehicle
-Never leave valuables in your vehicle, including items such as a GPS, cell phone, laptop, tablet, or charging cord
Keep in mind suspects on previous occasions have used garage door openers located in the vehicles to open the garage door to allow access to other vehicles and the home.
