Virtual Neighborhood Watch Action and Awareness Training, Wednesday, January 13^th at 6 pm.  DPD District 3’s Neighborhood Watch program offers a partnership between Officers and the Residents they serve.  Officers promote Neighborhood Connectivity by encouraging Neighbors to get to know one another and by creating awareness through Implicit Bias education – reminding neighbors – it’s the person’s behavior, not the person to be mindful of when observing and reporting suspicious behavior to the Police. (flyer attached) RSVP to D3NeighborhoodWatch@denvergov.org

Simple and inexpensive strategy to prevent vehicle theft. In DPD District 3 more than 2300 vehicles were stolen in 2020. DPD has recommended residents use a steering wheel lock device as a deterrent to vehicle theft. One example of this device is a CLUB steering wheel lock. The CLUB (2 prong) device is available at your local Ace Hardware for $24 and on Amazon for $26. When recently asked, our District 3 CRO’s said to the best of their knowledge no vehicle was stolen in District 3 last year while using a CLUB (2 prong) device.

A few tips to prevent crimes of opportunity –

1. Do not set out whole, empty product boxes on trash day.  Doing this can alert potential thieves to what type of items are inside your residence.
2. Turn on your porch light.
3. Close your garage door after each use.
4. Lock your vehicles and remove valuables. Use a steering wheel lock.
5. Leave an appearance you are home at all times.  Collect mail and packages ASAP.
