Monmouth Police Chief Switzer “Remember to Lock Your Doors”

Share

Burglaries are always a possibility. There is always someone out there trying to take advantage of an opportunity. Take that opportunity away by locking up, reminds Monmouth Police Chief Joe Switzer:

“You have to make sure that you lock your vehicles, lock your houses, and garages. Don’t leave items in your vehicle. If you do, put them under the seat, or put them in the trunk, and make sure it is locked. The people need an opportunity and at three o’clock in the morning an unlocked car door is a good opportunity. Let’s not give them that opportunity.”
