CRIME PREVENTION TIPS - DETER "PORCH PIRATES"
- Consider having packages delivered to a trusted neighbor who will be home when you’re away.
- Use delivery companies that have a “lockbox” where you can pick-up packages rather than having them delivered.
- Use mail services that require a signature for delivery.
- Sign-up for tracking alerts.
- Have packages delivered to your workplace, rather than your home.
- Tell out-of-town relatives who might be mailing gifts where to safely send packages (based on decisions above).
If someone steals your package, please report it. This helps in investigations and determining trends – it allows us to direct resources when we can see patterns emerging.
