It is not unusual for police departments to see a rise in burglaries during the summer months. Some of the contributing factors to this rise are the increase of people on vacation, the decrease in kids that are occupied by school, and the increase in transitory traffic through our state as a result of living in a tourism-driven economy.
Crime requires three elements to occur motive, ability and opportunity. As vigilant citizens, it should be our goal to eliminate the opportunity of crime as we cannot control motive and ability. The Winter Springs Police Department would like to remind everyone to be vigilant. By knowing what kind of crime to expect, we can take steps to make criminals less successful. I think we can all agree that a criminal’s business is the type of business we can do without in our city! Here are a few reminders to reduce your vulnerability to burglary.
For Vehicle Burglary:
1. LOCK YOUR VEHICLE!2. DO NOT leave items of value in your vehicle.3. Your vehicle is no place to store LAPTOPS, CELL PHONES, WALLETS, JEWELRY and especially FIREARMS. If you are a concealed weapon permit holder or firearm owner, it is your responsibility to ensure the security of that firearm at all times, NO EXCEPTIONS.4. When parking for long periods of time, make sure you bring everything of value with you (phones, purses, wallets).5. Be conscious of where you park. Park in well lit areas and avoid parking in areas that shield your vehicle from view i.e. in between two vehicles larger than your own.6. Double check windows and door locks to ensure they are operating properly.7. Just because you put something under the seat or under a towel does not mean it is hidden from a passersby.
For your residence:
1. LOCK YOUR HOME!2. Keep your garage door CLOSED!3. Even when you are in the home, get in the habit of keeping doors and windows locked.4. Report unusual occurrences and solicitors to the police.5. Verify all contractors and service personnel with whom you are doing business.
While on Vacation:
1. When leaving on vacation, come by the Winter Springs Police Department and initiate a House Check!2. Ask a trusted friend or neighbor to check in on your home from time to time.3. DO NOT post information regarding the period of time and the amount of time you will be gone on any social media. That includes ALL family members.4. Schedule to have your mail and / or newspaper held at the Post Office or picked up by a friend.5. Keep an eye on friends’ and neighbors’ houses when you know they are not there.6. Research your destination and familiarize yourself with it. Know what to do in case of emergency and what resources are available to you.

By turning up your vigilance just a bit, you can significantly reduce the risk of being victimized by burglary. If you deny criminals the opportunity to commit crime, you will have done everything you can do to prevent crime. You will have become part of the 360 shield which protects our community. Let’s make our city a bad place to commit burglary
Always remember, if you see something unusual, do not hesitate to notify the Police. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. If you feel uncomfortable about calling the Police Department, you can report suspicious activity anonymously to 1-800-423-TIPS or at www.crimeline.org. You don’t have to give your name. The Police Department in cooperation with the communnity is the 360 shield which protects us all. Help the Winter Springs Police Department. Be a crime stopper not a victim. Lock your car. Please report suspicious activity.
