This holiday season, BTPD the would like to provide some tips to get ready for the sudden influx of packages at your front door:
· If possible, monitor your front porch with a security cam or video doorbell
· Give the delivery service special instructions
· Use a package delivery box or an Amazon pickup location
· Keep tabs on your packages by signing up for email/text alerts
· ALWAYS require a signature
Nothing worse than spending good money and being the victim of preventable theft.
Finally, never leave items of value inside your vehicle, especially in plain sight. This can be during holiday shopping in public or in your driveway overnight. Always lock your vehicles, and never leave the keys inside.
You can find a complete list of tips at BTPD Crime Prevention.
Any non-emergency questions? Please call 248-433-7755 or Email BTPD.
Let’s be merry and vigilant this holiday season.
