112th Precinct Community Council

OPERATION ALERT

Help prevent burglaries

The 112th Precinct Community Council is sponsoring OPERATION ALERT for the residents of our community in an effort to deter burglaries. The precinct council purchased burglar alarms for windows and doors for our residents. You may receive your FREE ALARM at our precinct council meeting in February and in March. Each resident will be eligible to receive one alarm.
We hope that Operation Alert will deter burglaries in our community. Residents will sign the OPERATION ALERT log to indicate that they have received their alarm. We will monitor this program to see the effect on crime. As our supply is limited, participation in Operation Alert will be on a first come first serve basis.
When residents receive their alarm, they may also sign up for a free security survey of their house or apartment by the 112th precinct's crime prevention officer. We encourage all of our residents to take advantage of Operation Alert

other precautions

We also are encouraging our residents to take other precautions to protect their property and that of their neighbors:
* Please be sure to lock windows and doors.
* Leave lights & a radio on even if you are not home.
* Use timers throughout your house or apartment that have various time changes.
* Leave lights on outside the house.
* Do not open the door to strangers.
* Call 911 if you see suspicious activity on your block or in your apartment building
