Safety Reminder

With the fair in full swing, the Alert Neighbors Committee wanted to remind residents to take precautions during the Tulsa State Fair and other events at Expo Square. Some of their recommendations included:

* Garage your car if possible

* If you do not have a garage, lock and take all of your valuables out of the car. Thieves will “window shop” to see what is easy to steal.

* Leave your porch light on at all times, close your curtains and leave a radio or TV on when you leave home.

* If anyone appears at your door or in your yard that you do not know, call 911 and report it immediately.

* Report any crime, no matter how small, to the Tulsa Police Department.

These precautions are not meant to alarm neighbors, but just to remind them to be vigilant. "Nosy" neighbors -- and neighbors who aren't afraid to call the police -- help make the neighborhood safer for all of us.
