Dear Bosque Farms Residents and visitors,
AS Christmas approaches, police in Bosque Farms have stepped up measures to ensure that everybody but criminals may enjoy a happy festive season.
As Chief these measures are aimed at deterring and detecting criminals exploiting the busy Christmas period for their own ends, causing heartbreak and disappointment for many people in the process. The high profile police presence is about creating a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone during the festive period, I would advise retailers to think seriously about their security and check their premises regularly for anything suspicious. In addition to police activity, I would urge people to be alert and take care over the festive period. There are numerous sensible precautions you can follow to ensure that you and your family will not fall victim to crime this Christmas and stay safe this Christmas.
• Don't leave gifts inside the car for all to see - take them with you or lock them in the trunk out of sight.
• Be alert to the possibility of a thief snatching your bag or purse. Don't keep all your money in one place.
• Be Alert around ATM machines when taking out cash. Consider using your Credit Card and getting cash back.
• When parking your car, park in a well-lit area.
• In the home, don't leave Christmas Presents for all to see.
• If you are going away over Christmas, inform us so we can put your details in the vacant house register and ask a neighbour to keep an eye on your house. Stressing the need to take a few simple precautions to ensure an enjoyable but safe party season for everybody, I fully recognise that Christmas is a time for celebration and Police do not want to spoil anybodies fun, However, by following a few straight-forward guidelines you can have a good night out and stay safe at the same time:
• If you are going to drink, drink responsibly, DON'T DRIVE DRUNK!
• Plan your journey home in advance • Stay in well lit, familiar areas
• Don't become separated from your friends – look out for each other
• Never accept a drink from someone you don't know
• Always have enough money to get yourself home
Finally, I would like to wish you all a very happy, peaceful and crime free Christmas and New Year!
God Bless,
Chief Joe Stidham
Bosque Farms Police Department
