Community Action Team Officer - Mo Gabr Reports

· Lock your cars if left outside to prevent break ins and do not leave valuables in them.

· If you are going to be out of town, the sheriff's department will check on your house.

· Call 803-576-3000 to set this up or www.rcsd.net . Having the patrol car in the neighborhood is also a good thing to help prevent problems. Things have been relatively quiet in our area.


· If you have been working outside and in your garage, keep the garage door shut when you are done to keep thieves out.

· Use seat belts when traveling and don't put feet on the dashboard. Doing this can contribute to serious injuries if there is an accident.
