Crime Prevention (updated 4/14/08)

If you ever see a crime in progress or suspicious activity, call 911.  For everything else, call the Police Department's non-emergency line @ 343-3600.

Is a street light out on your street?  Good lighting is a key crime deterrent!  Fill out an easy form to report a burnt out street light to Progress Energy.

Check out (and check off) the National Crime Prevention Council's Home Security Checklist.  Also take a look at the National Neighborhood Watch Program's Preventing Burglaries - How to Protect Your Home.

Coming soon - add a crime to the ROW database.  You'll be able to view all the crimes reported in the members-only section.  We'll also be able to monitor how well they are followed up on and resolved.
