® Sound of breaking glass (burglary or vandalism); <br />® A person exhibiting unusual mental or physical symptoms (person may be <br />injured, under the influence of drugs, or otherwise needing medical attention). <br />Time and accuracy are critical in reporting crime or suspicious events. Use your law <br />enforcement agency's emergency number to report life-threatening incidents or a crime in <br />progress, and use the non -emergency number for crimes that have already occurred. <br />Your call could save a life, prevent an injury, or stop a crime. The information you <br />provide will be kept confidential. You do not need to give your name, although this is <br />often helpful. <br />Suspicious Persons <br />Obviously, not every stranger who comes into a neighborhood is a criminal. Legitimate <br />door-to-door sales and repair people appear in residential areas frequently. Occasionally, <br />however, criminals disguise themselves as these workers; therefore, it is important to be <br />alert to the activities of all nonresidents. Law enforcement officials should be called to <br />investigate persons in the following circumstances, who may be suspects in the crimes <br />indicated: <br />® Going door to door in a residential area, especially if one or more goes to rear <br />of residence or loiters in front of an unoccupied house or closed business <br />(burglary); <br />® Forcing entrance or entering an unoccupied house (burglary, theft, or <br />trespassing); <br />® Running, especially if carrying something of value or carrying unwrapped <br />property at an unusual hour (fleeing the scene of a crime); <br />® Heavy traffic to and from a residence, particularly if it occurs on a daily basis <br />(drug dealing, vice or fence operation); <br />® Screaming (rape or assault): <br />® Loitering around or peering into cars, especially in parking lots or on streets <br />(car theft); <br />® Loitering around schools, parks or secluded areas (sex offender); <br />® Offering items for sale at a very low price (trying to sell stolen property); <br />® Loitering or driving through a neighborhood several times or appearing as <br />delivery person with a wrong address (burglary). <br />
