 Burglary Prevention Tips Minimize
The District 3 Police have recently noted an increase in burglaries in Precinct 323 which includes the University, University Hills and Wellshire neighborhoods. 

Tips to keep your home safe
  • Make your home look occupied, and difficult to break in.
  • If you have an alarm system and the alarm company gave you stickers or signs place them in a highly visible location
  • Lock all doors and windows before you leave the house. (Even if you will only be gone for a short time.)
  • Leave a few lights on when you go out.  Connect some lamps to automatic timers to turn lights on and off while you are on vacation.
  • have a neighbor pick up your mail and newspaper
  • Pushbutton locks are easy to open.  Install deadbolt locks on all your outside doors.
District 3 Tip Line: 720-913-1178
