Arlington Police Partner With Community on Safety
The rush of the holiday season is filled with distractions
and changes in routine. Burglars know this and take
advantage of packages left in vehicles and gifts piled under
Christmas trees. As a result, the Arlington Police
Department wants to remind residents about the nuts and
bolts of crime prevention, specifically when it comes to
vehicle or residential burglary. From 10:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m., Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, the Arlington Police
Department will partner with businesses and residents in the
East District for a community event focused on crime
prevention education. The event will be held in the parking
lot of the Nuts and Bolts Hardware Store located at 2320 S.
Collins St.
- Nuts and Bolts employees will demonstrate ways to
reinforce locks and windows.
- Arlington police volunteers will have a car on
display to show the common mistakes people make with
leaving items in plain sight that might entice a car
burglar.
- Getting to know your neighbors is one of the
simplest ways to protect your homes. By interacting and
mingling with neighbors, like at this community event,
residents are better able to spot suspicious people in
their neighborhoods.
- Food, games and prizes will be available throughout
the community gathering.
Join your Arlington Police Department in an effort to
prevent crime! For more information, call 817 459-5817 or
817 459-5725. |
