Monthly Chief’s Report – September 2021
Chief’s Report by District – 3rd Quarter – South Command
It’s hard to believe we are almost through October. The holidays and 2022 are just around the corner! Unfortunately this time of year, doesn’t always bring out the best in people. Online shopping is a great way to beat the crowds, however, all those Amazon boxes on your door step are an attractive gift for would be thieves. Consider having items shipped to an alternate location, such as an Amazon shipping locker or a neighbor / relative who will be home on the day of delivery. SPD will be doing its part as well, deploying bait packages as a way to reduce thefts.
