See the clip!
Fairfield Police came to speak to Realtors today during the Greater Fairfield Board of Realtors meeting hosted by the wonderful Audubon Society, and the @raveisfairfieldsouthport office had a strong presence! Officers, Tony Granada and Ed Nook shared crime trends, gave safety recommendations, and answered questions. They also emphasized how the police are here to help the community.

The TOP CRIME TRENDS in town were “opportunity crimes” like theft of cars left unlocked with keys in them 😳 and identity theft, as well as people stealing checks from mailboxes, “washing them” adding to the amount, and making the check out to themselves. 

We also learned that the police are not permitted to chase stolen vehicles! 

So the top🔝tips are:

1) LOCK 🔐 YOUR CAR 🚘 AND TAKE YOUR KEYS 🔑!
2) Avoid mailing a check, but if you have to, take it directly to the post office.
3) Be sure to report 📣any signs of a crime asap to the police department. If you can’t get through, call 9-1-1. There are officers at the ready and on patrol around town, and they can get to a scene quickly if given the alert ‼️ 
4) Neighborhood Watch 👀 is recommended. DM me to learn more.
