Insure that your home is properly secure. Make sure that the doors are locked and lights are on when leaving. The Rockville City Police Department will perform a crime prevention survey of your home, if requested.
If someone knocks at your door, find out who it is through a peephole or window BEFORE you ask.
DO NOT open your door to strangers or allow anyone such as servicemen or sales representatives into your home without proper identification and verification. Call their home office if necessary.
If someone pushes their way into your home, go to an area where you can get out, get help, or defend yourself.
Don't enter your house if you notice the door or a window has been tampered with.
Join a Neighborhood Watch Program. If you don't have one in your neighborhood, contact the Rockville City Police Department for more information on how to start one.
For more information about crime prevention call the Rockville City Police Department Community Services Officer 240-314-8922.
