Take a bite out of crime
Your neighborhood is a fun place to walk your dog or play with friends.
Here are some tips to help you stay safe in your neighborhood.
- Always walk or bike with a friend, never alone. Know the way you're going before you start. Stay away from empty buildings and unsafe places.
- Never take anything from a stranger. If a stranger asks you a question, don't talk. Run away. Don't go anywhere with a stranger.
- Tell an adult you trust if you see someone you think doesn't belong hanging around public restrooms, playgrounds, or school yards.
Gun Safety
If you find a gun outside or in a friend's home NEVER assume that the gun is a toy. Some models of small caliber handguns like the .25 ACP can weigh much less than a pound. If you are not ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, that the gun is a toy, you should not handle it at all. If the gun looks like it is mostly made of metal, it is probably real.
If a gun is found outside the house, it should never be touched, except by a police officer. As soon as possible, a police officer should be brought to the scene. NEVER TRY TO BRING A GUN THAT YOU FOUND TO A PARENT, ADULT OR POLICE OFFICER. You should instead, bring the police officer to the gun. This is the right thing to do.
