As we set our clocks back one hour this weekend, the Lower Saucon Township Police Department reminds you to take a few extra minutes to ensure your safety and preparedness.

When you turn back your clocks, don't forget to:

• Change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Check the expiration dates of your fire extinguishers and replace them if necessary.
• Test your emergency flashlights and replace any dead batteries.

By taking these simple steps, you can help keep yourself and your loved ones safe from potential hazards. Remember, it's always better to be prepared!
