• A reminder from the Pennsylvania State Police:

An obstacle that law enforcement faces when dealing with crime is the lack of timely reporting.  Reporting criminal activity to law enforcement allows us to track the incident by date, time of day, location and other variables. By identifying these variables, law enforcement can focus their resources to prevent future crimes and identify the actors committing the crimes.

The Pennsylvania State Police strongly encourage you to report any criminal activity or any situations that you may believe are suspicious or out of the ordinary.  Notifying the Pennsylvania State Police or any law enforcement agency is simple; just dial 911.

The following crime prevention tips are recommended:

• Do not leave valuables in plain view
• Completely close all car windows
• Lock your vehicle and take out the keys
• When using your garage, make sure your vehicle and garage door are locked
• Try to park in well-lit areas close to your destination
• If valuables need to be left in your vehicle, place them in the trunk prior to arriving at your destination
• Engrave expensive accessories or record the serial numbers
• Avoid leaving your vehicles running while unattended.
