Tips to Prevent Thefts from Vehicle – There has recently been an increase in the numbers of thefts from vehicles, especially in the downtown area. In most cases, the victims left their vehicles unlocked. The Annapolis Police Department is asking for your help in preventing thefts from vehicles by taking some simple steps to protect yourself. Many of these crimes could be avoided by simply locking your car.

Property crimes are often crimes of opportunity and thieves look for unlocked cars.

Always remember to lock your car. Cell phones, CD players, Ipods, GPS units and laptops are criminal magnets, especially when left in an unlocked vehicle. Lock your car, put the windows and top up, and if you must leave valuables in your vehicle, hide them.

APD Training Exercises - Every Wednesday for the next 6 weeks, APD will conduct training exercises at the old Annapolis Recreation Center building at 9 St. Mary’s Street. The exercises are scheduled to start at 11:00 AM. The public should be aware that the exercise may include the sound of simulated gunfire and the presence of police vehicles.

This year’s back pack giveaway will happen at Moon’s Barbershop in August 2010. APD is currently collecting donations of school supplies to put in the back packs.
