Crime Prevention Tips from the Verona Police Department
Verona Police would like to warn its citizens other Dane County communities are experiencing a rash of vehicle and garage break-ins. Typically, property crimes are crimes of opportunity, which can be prevented, or greatly reduced, by following these simple preventative measures:
- Always remove keys and garage door openers from your unoccupied vehicles
- Lock and close all doors and windows of your unoccupied vehicles
- Never leave valuable items in plain sight inside your unoccupied vehicle
- Activate your vehicle's car alarm
- Park your vehicle inside your secure garage, your driveway or underneath a street light to deter would be criminals
- Never leave property, such as bicycles, in your yard overnight
- Consider leaving on your residence's exterior lights or installing motion sensor lights to deter or scare off would be criminals
- Close overhead garage doors and secure exterior doors
- Immediately report suspicious activity or criminal behavior to the Verona Police Department
The Verona Police Department increases their foot and bike patrols, frequently notifies homeowners of unsecure garage doors, and conducts business security checks as a way of preventing and deterring property crimes. We encourage all citizens to report anything suspicious.
