The Prince Georges County Police remind us to remain vigilant and cognizant your our surroundings

at all times. Here are a few tips for your safety.

Physical Safety

1. While shopping always keep track of your belongings. Packages and pocketbooks are prime targets for thieves.
2. Always try to park in well lighted areas of parking lots, garage structures or other parking facilities.
3. Place all packages and personal items in the trunk, or out of site, when away from your vehicle.
4. Remember the rule "See something, Say something". Always report any suspicious or unsavory activity to the authorities.
5. Always keep car doors locked while driving.
6. When at a gas station, remember to always lock your car doors at all times.
7. Do not use any type of hand held device(s) while driving. It compromises your full attention to operate the vehicle.
8. Remember, cars, money, jewelry and other personal property CAN be replaced .....human life CANNOT!
