Together we can Prevent Auto Theft

The primary goals of our page are to educate and empower you to enhance your safety. We’ll do our best to provide you with the information you need to get your desired results, but please understand that we do NOT have the ability to dispatch police based on messages sent or comments posted on our page. If you need police service, you must dial 9-1-1. This is the ONLY way to receive a police response regardless of the reason you need service.

Your Nightly Reminder:

Be sure your vehicle is locked before heading off to bed. A simple click of the lock button on the remote will do the trick.

Make sure your home and garage doors are locked. Garage doors can often provide an easy entrance to a house.

WE WANT TO HELP YOU PROTECT YOUR CAR!

Many PUSH BUTTON START vehicles are being stolen by having the key signal relayed. If your key fob is within a short distance of your vehicle, even if inside your home, a readily available device can be used to relay the signal to your vehicle. The thief can then open your door and drive your vehicle away. Storing your key fob in a faraday pouch can prevent the signal from being captured.

The 7th Police District Advisory Council is giving away faraday pouches to 7th Police District residents to help fight the auto theft problem. Simply stop by the 7th Police District, Bustleton Avenue and Bowler Street, 24 hours a day to pick up your pouch for free.

Remember, these are only for vehicles with a push button start. Registration required. Limit one per vehicle. Offer only for residents of the 7th Police District.

Domestic Violence

In the United States, more than one-third of women aged 18 and over — approximately 42.4 million women — have experienced physical violence, sexual violence, and/or stalking by a current or former intimate partner at some point in their lifetime. Men are also victims of domestic violence, but the vast majority of victims are women.
