 Holiday Safety Tips From Dallas Police DepartmentAt Home:
· Have lights at all entrances.
· Have a wide-angle door viewer on all exterior doors.
· Install locks on all windows and doors and don’t forget to use them! Install secondary locks on windows and doors.
· Do not use your full name on your mailbox, telephone directory or on your answering machine.
· Do not leave a message on your answering machine stating when you’re out of town.
· Get to know your neighbors.
· Check who is at the door before opening it.
· Don’t hide extra keys in obvious places.
· Ask for identification on all repair persons, technicians or delivery people that come to your door. If something doesn’t look right, call to verify employment.
· Never give personal information to telephone solicitors.
· Do not let people you don’t know into your home to use the telephone. Offer to make the call for them while they wait outside.
Away From Home:
· Be very careful using outside ATM’s. If someone is too close, walk or drive away and use another one.
· When walking, “walk with a purpose” with your head up looking around at your surroundings.
· Do not overload yourself with packages and don’t talk on the cell phone while walking or standing in a public place.
· If you carry a purse or briefcase, carry it close to your body and not “dangling” from your forearm or hand.
· When walking to your vehicle in a public parking lot, always have your keys in your hand and immediately enter your vehicle. Don’t sit in your vehicle talking on the phone, organizing your belongings, etc. Immediately start your vehicle and drive away.
· When driving, keep your doors locked.
· If you feel you’re being followed, do not drive home! Go to a well populated public place or a police or fire station if possible.
Remember: always be aware of your surroundings and practice personal safety everyday! Make it a habit! See anything suspicious, call 9-1-1!
Address signs for alleys or back fences. The Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire Department suggest every residence have an alley sign with the residence house number and street name. This helps tremendously in the event of a crime report, fire or other emergency, as well as VIP patrols. Contact VIP@phhaonline.org to order your sign for $17.
A No Solicitors/No Advertising sign for your front door is also available for $3. Contact VIP@phhaonline.org.

 LIGHT UP PRESTON HIGHLANDS! Our VIP patrols report some alleys with no driveway lighting and others with very little. This provides thieves the atmosphere to harm you and/or your property. Don't be complacent! Turn on front and rear lights all night and set alarms. Keep garage doors closed and park cars in your garage. Apply to join Volunteers in Patrol. Our team has grown to 19 patrollers, but we need more! Contact VIP@phhaonline.org or click here to get an application and liability waiver. Check out the Volunteers in Patrol Training Class Schedule.
