Due to the very unusual occurrence and number of burglaries/robberies in Lake Claire in mid-
June, APD’s Lt Floyd and Sgt. Barth attended the LCN June monthly meeting to discuss this troubling crime spree. APD recommends the following to insure your home is safe:
1. Use outdoor lighting – front and/or back porch lights, motion-sensing flood lighting near
2. Install a wired, monitored home alarm system.
3. Prune back tall shrubbery near entrances.
4. Install motion-sensing cameras at doorways, on driveways, etc.
5. Make sure all doors and windows of your home are LOCKED when sleeping or away.
6. Have NOTHING visible in parked cars, and generally cars parked in driveways are safer.
Contact APD by dialing 911 from your home or cell phone for any/every incidence of crime or
suspicious behavior. Although we were told otherwise, it is still better to dial 404-658-6666 whenusing a cell phone. Tell the operator you’re in APD’s Zone 6, Beat 608 if your location does not automatically come up on the operator’s screen. It’s also a good idea to give a call back number.
