Detective Zach Rhein called into the meeting representing Detective Barnick who is our new crime prevention officer. He reviewed neighborhood safety protocols:
- Remove all key fobs from vehicles, running vehicles or those in unlocked garage. Burglar will break into garage to steal vehicle.
- Keep vehicles locked. There are people that cut through the neighborhood and check for unlocked cars
- Do not keep spare key in vehicle.
- Keep residence locked at all times. People will check the front door and grab the keys that we keep near the door
- At night check that doors are locked
- Utilize alarms
- Security cameras do help
- Keep residence well lit. Helps neighbors and officers to see your property better. And helps emergency personnel who respond.
- Don’t approach suspicious people and vehicles
- Keep entryways lit
- Keep shrubs no more than 2 feet tall and tree branches no lower than 6 feet.
- Recommend security cameras. They deter crime and the recording helps the police
- Ring camera-some people only set the motion detector when someone is at the front door and only record for 10-12 seconds. Be aware of this and Detective suggests changing the setting to increase the scope and time of recording.
- The police love to be part of these meetings. This is the only neighborhood that does this.
- Ask a trusted neighbor to check your house while you are away and to check for mail and packages.
- Ocean Township police offer house checks for those residents away for one week or longer. Checks are done on a weekly basis. You can request this from the dispatcher.
- Please call the police if you feel they are needed in a timely manner. If you see someone suspicious note their description, license plate and report to police. Do NOT approach them. Call 911 if a crime is in process like an assault or robbery. There are specifically trained dispatchers to help people through an emergency
- Call Police number (732-531-1800) for non emergencies like you get up in the morning and realize your car was burglarized during the night. The officer will come and take a report and begin the investigation.
- Scams - be wary of calls and emails pretending to be law enforcement, family member, or bank and wanting personal or bank information or if they are looking for Google gift cards. This is not true and real police would not ask for this. Any questions call the police.
