• Are your shrubs and bushes within four feet of sidewalks, driveways, doors or gates maintained at a height of no more than four feet?
• Make sure your house number is easily visible from the road. Police, Fire, and EMS will have an easier time finding your residence should you have an emergency.
• Make sure to store bicycles, ladders and lawn mowers inside a building or home.
• Ask the Anderson Police Department to put your house on “Keep Check” while you are out of town on vacation.
• If you exercise by running or walking in the City of Anderson, do you always work out with a partner?
• Always park in a lighted parking lot when you are shopping or conducting business after dark.
• Never leave keys locked inside your car whether they belong to vehicle or not.
• Criminals will break a window out just to get the keys thinking they belong to the vehicle and will then have access to your home or office while stealing your property or the vehicle.
