and play, and history lives... thriving with people who have devoted their
lives to quality community living since its foundation on March 23rd,

IN THE NEWS

1) Do not leave purchased items
visible in the car-leave them in the trunk.
2) While shopping in the evening
hours may be less crowded, there are also additional potential
risks involved. Park in areas of parking lots that have adequate
lighting. Consider shopping with someone rather than going
alone.
3) Make sure purses and wallets
are secure on your person and you are aware of their location at
all times.
4) Keep the amount of available
cash you have at a minimum or separate it into different pockets
or locations on or about your person. This way all of it is not
lost if your purse or wallet is misplaced or stolen.
5) Credit cards offer convenience
and security, however, keep track of all cards and keep receipts
to compare to your monthly statement.
6) Remain aware of your
surroundings at all times and move to and from your vehicle with
confidence and "purpose". Have keys ready
before getting
to your car so you do not have to search for them while standing
near it.
7) Report suspicious people or
activity to law enforcement
immediately!
8) Most important is to reduce
your own vulnerability and do what you can to minimize the
possibility that you could be a victim of a crime or accidental
loss.
Be sure to check out all of our
safety pages on this website for more important information that
may keep you and your family safe
this holiday season!
