A holiday safety message from Lakeport Police
Season’s Greeting from the Lakeport Police Department. ‘Tis the season to be jolly. ‘Tis also the season of opportunity for the criminally-minded.
It is an unfortunate truth that during these holidays, there is an increase in the number of thefts and burglaries. “Porch piracy,” vehicle and residential burglaries, and telephone/internet scams increase. Help us and help yourselves by following these tips:
- Have your packages delivered to an address that is regularly attended, such as work, a neighbor, friends or family. If you are the address that is regularly attended, offer to be that delivery point for friends’ and families’ packages.
- Lock your vehicles, try to park in well-lit areas or close to an occupied residence, and don’t leave expensive items in your vehicle or anything in plain view.
- Lock your residence, whether home or away. If you are going to be away from your home for an extended number of days, let a neighbor know, and take advantage of our Online Vacation Check
- Request, accessed through the “Community Portal” banner on our webpage, cityoflakeport.com/police. If you are home and see unusual or suspicious activities around your neighbor’s house, call our friendly and responsive patrol staff at 707-263-5491, option 1, and report it.
- Be wary of telephone calls or internet messages soliciting donations and payments. Any request that involves “getting a gift card,” especially as a payment, is likely a scam and should be looked into further.
- There may also be an uptick in impaired drivers. Drive with caution and defensively. Don’t react to what a driver should do, but rather react to what they are actually doing and report anyone whom you feel is impaired. If it is you that is enjoying the season with alcoholic beverage, have a sober driver, wait until you are definitely sober enough to drive, or take advantage of the independent driving services available in our area!
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season!
