“Reducing Crime and Promoting Safety”

                                                                                                               

PHONE SCAMS

Telephone scams always sound a little unbelievable-until they happen to you. Con artists are very persuasive and most people naturally let their guard down in the privacy of their homes, expecting a friend or relative to be on the phone, not a criminal. Some tips to avoid being a victim:

*Never give personal information including credit card or social                                             security numbers.

*If you are not interested or feel uneasy about a call, hang up.

*Never allow yourself to be pushed into a hurried decision.

*If an offer ever sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

EMERGENCY GUIDE/TORNADO

Fear at the time of a disaster breed panic, and panic can account for more injuries than the disaster itself. Calming personnel and students and preventing panic is critical.

IN THE EVENT OF A TORNADO

Don’t hesitate, take immediate cover

Go to lower level areas (no windows)---take cover in an interior room or hall---use heavy furniture for shelter if possible

Familiarize yourself with assembly are locations listed in the (Red) Emergency guides prior to any emergency

Always follow the direction of emergency response personnel.

THE ADVENTURES OF OFFICER BOB

 

 

Thieving Tom and Dopey Dan tried to pull the front off of an ATM machine by attaching a chain around the machine to their truck bumper. Instead of pulling the panel off the machine they pulled the rear bumper off their truck. Scared, from all the noise they made, they drove off. Officer Bob arrived and found the bumper with the license plate still attached. Officer Bob eventually arrested both Thieving Tom and Dopey Dan.

The use of car alarms and clubs on the steering wheel will not always prevent crime, but will often deter the thief. The thief will look for an easier car to steal.----
