Morningside Station Police Officers
Police from Morningside are currently promoting home and vehicle security during the school holiday period. It is a timely reminder to prompt residents regarding home security strategies to enhance personal safety and to prevent opportunistic offending or ‘sneak’ burglary offences.
Suggested strategies to reduce the likelihood of being a victim of crime are:
Always lock doors both when absent from your address, and when at home. The use of keys in security doors reduces the likelihood of intrusion.
Always secure windows when absent from the address.
Place vehicle keys in a less obvious place to prevent home vehicles from being stolen in the case of a break in.
Consider installing good quality CCTV cameras both outside and within your home.
Consider installing an alarm system within your home.
The use of sensor lights at the front and rear of your house can deter offenders.
Police are also reminding residence to be vigilant in personal vehicle
