Juniata residents, please be sure to lock your doors and windows to help prevent burglaries in your area and be sure to call 911 to report any suspicious activity. All residentso can use the following tips to help prevent burglaries. Here are some tips brought to you by our friendly crime analyst officer. 1) Perform routine tasks and clean up the outside your property on a regular basis to show you are occupying your home. 2) Install timed lights or leave a radio or television playing if you are traveling or will be absent from your home for long periods of time. 3) Lock all your doors, windows, garages, and sheds when you leave your home to make it difficult for burglars to enter without attracting the attention of others. 4) Make your doors and windows visible to the neighborhood and to the street. 5) Store your valuables away from windows or doors where they can easily be seen from the outside. 6) Hide or destroy any outside trash that may advertise your personal belongings to the rest of your neighborhood. 7) Leave spare house keys with trusted friends, family, or neighbors instead of placing them outside on your property. 8) Park your vehicles inside a closed garage if you have one to make it difficult for burglars to determine if you are home or not. 9) Install a home alarm system to deter burglars and to alarm authorities if there is a break-in. 10) Stray away from routine schedules to make it more difficult for burglars to predict when you will be absent from your home. 11) Turn on exterior lights when it becomes dark outside or install motion detector lights to deter burglars. 12) Alter your outside landscaping to make it difficult for burglars to navigate your property without being seen or heard. Have a nice day!
