Description

Arlington is a safe community, but criminal activity does occur, especially in warm weather, when unlocked doors and open windows can prove tempting.
Here are some safety tips from the Arlington County Police Department.

• Do NOT leave windows open when no one is home.
• If you leave windows open while Sleeping, do not leave any first floor windows open.
• Ask a neighbor to watch your home when you are away.
• Do not leave valuables in places visible from the street.
• Always lock your doors.
• Do not hide keys on your property. Instead, ask a trusted neighbor or friend to hold onto an extra set of your keys.
• Alert your neighbors to suspicious people or activity.

And remember: Never hesitate to call the police if you think you spot suspicious activity.
Call 911 for emergencies. And for non-emergencies, call 703-558-2222.
