#9PMRoutine

Posted: August 16, 2022

Please join us in being part of the #9PMRoutine.

The #9PMRoutine is a nightly practice of residents to remove valuables from their vehicles, lock their vehicle doors, lock the doors to their residences, turn on exterior lights and activate all alarms and security systems.

We ask residents to set a nightly reminder on their smartphones or other devices that will remind them to follow the #9PMRoutine.

Many vehicle burglaries, and to a lesser degree, stolen vehicles, occur as a result of vehicles being left unlocked. Criminals walk through neighborhoods, trying vehicle door handles, hoping to find an unlocked vehicle. The best way to prevent vehicle burglaries is to remove all of your valuables, lock your vehicle’s doors upon exiting and take the keys to the vehicle inside your residence.

Criminals look for easy targets. You can make it more difficult for them by following the #9PMRoutine!
