THERE IS NO SAFETY OR SECURITY WITHOUT “U”

What makes a person suspicious?

He or she may be wearing odd clothing for the time of year, appear to be a bit nervous, be wandering around the streets or roads, be taking some pictures of homes and the area or asking unusual questions of those in the area. Even an innocent question could be risky, if challenged by the person give vague answers and make little eye contact

What should you do

If you see something say something to the proper people ask the person if they need help be curious ask politely what they need

If the suspicious person sees you coming and turns around be observant get license plates, color and make of vehicle and call the sheriff department. If you are really concerned tell your neighbors of your observations as soon as possible.

Remember that your safety and security and that of your neighbors is the top priority. Under no circumstances should you chase someone try to escape your attention.
