Crime Prevention Tips

PRESENTED BY THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT UNIT OF THE COCONUT CREEK POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Coconut Creek Police Department is built on the strength of its residents and is committed to providing tools needed to decrease your likelihood of becoming a victim of crime. The tips provided herein are to be used as a guide. This guide, in conjunction with diligent reporting of any and all suspicious activities to our department will help reduce incidents of crime in our city.

The police department relies on our residents to assist us in deterring criminal activity and apprehending subjects involved in committing criminal acts. First, you must report ANY and ALL suspicious activities occurring in and around your neighborhood to the department, regardless of how trivial you may think the incident is. The responding officers will determine what action is required. It is important to remember that you are never “bothering” the police with your calls, as we are here to serve you, the residents of our community.

Reporting suspicious activities or persons may be done via phone by calling 9-1-1. Tips about suspicious activities that occur over a period of time, may also be reported (anonymously if you choose) through the City’s i-Police program at CoconutCreek.net/police. These tips are evaluated by a supervisor who determines which police unit is best suited to address your concern. Non-emergency police calls for service should be made to (954)-764-4357 (HELP). We urge you to familiarize yourself with the information contained in this pamphlet and make crime prevention a part of your daily life.

General Safety and Crime Prevention Guidelines

Survey your home as a burglar would. Look around for blind spots and hiding places while ensuring bushes, hedges, and trees are trimmed to avoid places of concealment.
Be a good neighbor and CALL THE POLICE if your observe unfamiliar vehicles parked in driveways or suspicious people knocking on doors.
Do not leave valuables in your vehicle and ensure car doors are locked.
Keep your garage door closed to prevent unwanted persons from entering and removing your items.
Always carry your cellphone when walking around your neighborhood.
The use of exterior lighting around the perimeter of your home in the evening is highly recommended and serves as a deterrent to criminal activity. Criminals do not wish to be seen or identied.
In order to reduce the chance of identity theft, carry only one credit or debit card while shopping. Copy all documents in your wallet/purse and keep them in a safe place. This way you will have the card and phone numbers needed to report lost or stolen cards.
Alert the three major credit reporting agencies of any fraudulent activity, and place an initial fraud alert on your credit reports. It is also advisable to obtain a copy of your credit report annually to review them for errors. They are available free of charge by calling:
- Equifax - 1-800-525-6285
- Experian - 1-888-397-3742
- Transunion - 1-800-680-7289
Install a monitored alarm system. The City of Coconut Creek does not charge a registration or permit fee, or impose fines for false alarms at this time.
Utilize the City’s website to monitor activity in your neighborhood by visiting www.p2c.coconutcreek.net.
In addition to sponsoring the Crime Spotter Neighborhood Watch program, the Coconut Creek Police. Department can conduct various crime prevention presentations for a range of groups and provide security surveys for businesses and residents.
We have trained officers dedicated to providing crime prevention techniques to our residents in a group setting or on an individual basis.
