Tips/advice:

Use caution in the morning hours as we are losing daylight and some students are out waiting for the bus in the dark or before the sun has risen fully.

Please remember to ALWAYS lock your vehicle(s) and your homes.

Store bicycles and other toys inside so that they are not lying around and an easy target for thieves.

Do not leave valuables in your vehicle.

Curfew hours (juveniles 17 and under) are 11PM-6AM Sunday-Thursday nights and 12:01AM-6AM on Friday and Saturday.

Please dial 911 immediately if you need police assistance. Do NOT wait to call until later or the following day if you observe something or someone suspicious.

LOCK YOUR VEHICLES...LOCK YOUR VEHICLES...LOCK YOUR VEHICLES.
