Safety in Palisades
Now that it is getting darker earlier, put your inside lights on a timer beginning at 4:30 so it looks like someone is home.
Make sure your house is clearly labeled with your house number for fire, police and emergency services.
Neighborhood watch: Some neighborhoods have organized neighbors' e-mails so they can alert their neighbors quickly if there is an emergency.
On White Oak items have been stolen from unlocked cars in front of people's homes. We recommend keeping valuables out of cars and doors locked.
