Police issued the Nixle alert reminding residents to close and lock doors and windows, including garage doors. Additionally, exterior doors should be equipped with a deadbolt lot that you should use and have a security strike plate, attached with a minimum of two, three inch screws.
Other tips are:
• If you have an alarm, always activate it when you are away.
