KEY POINTS FROM HARVARD
FELLOW STUDY
CRIME PREVENTION IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS
CRIME PREVENTION TIPS
• If you see something, say something – HPD cannot be everywhere all the
time – our success, as a health community, greatly depends upon what
observations citizens report to HPD.
• Lock your doors, vehicle and home.
• Secure your weapons, most guns are stolen from UNLOCKED cars. Stolen
guns are the most likely to be used in crimes.
• Do not leave your cars running, unless you are actually in the car.
• Lighting is one of the best deterrents to criminal activity.
• Home camera systems have become invaluable in solving crimes.
• Make sure that you know the serial numbers of high value items and have
photos of you jewelry.
