National Night Out/Neighborhood Watch
Wouldn’t it be great if neighbors in every Montgomery County community knew one another and worked together to keep their communities safer? That’s the goal of National Night Out. It’s held every year on the first Tuesday of August. And, if you are reading this before August 4 at 5:30 p.m., it’s not too late to take part! Otherwise, you’ll now be in the know and able to take part next year…maybe you’ll even get involved in organizing a Night Out event in your neighborhood.
Theft from Vehicles
Can you guess which the most common crime in Montgomery County is? No, it’s not residential burglaries, or robberies, or physical assaults. The most common crime in our County is theft from vehicles, and the good news is, we can all take some simple steps to help prevent it. It’s happening every day/night and all over the County, so read on to learn how you can lessen your chances of becoming a victim.
Vacation Safety
Taking a break from your everyday routine is welcome at any time of year, but summer is the most common season for scheduling that hard-earned vacation. Nothing can spoil that coveted week or two of time off faster than being victimized either by a residential burglary while you are away or becoming a crime victim while in the process of enjoying your vacation locale. This wouldn’t be the Summer of Safety webpage, if we didn’t have tips to help prevent both of those types of crimes from occurring.
