Praise for the Police
Got the following letter today. As obvious as the advice in the letter is, It makes me feel good to know the police are doing this. What a great PR opportunity!
Dear Resident,
In an effort to reduce crime and assist you from becoming a victim of crime, the Evans Police Department has instituted a theft target program. If one of our officers identifies a possible easy target for theft, he/she will report it to my office. We then contact you by this letter, hopefully bringing the target to attention.
On 11-04-06 at 11:45 PM Officer Povsha of the Evans Police observed the garage door of your residence was open.
Our suggestion for reducing your chance of becoming a victim of crime is the following:
Make sure the residence/garage is locked and secure.
Please accept this letter strictly as a service from the Evans Police Department. It is our goal to make the community crime free.
If you have any questions or would like further information about our other Crime Prevention Programs, please contact us at 339-2441.
Sincerely,
Lee Carrillo
Interim Chief of Police
