The great weather stretch continues
… warm and sunny again today … but its expected to drop tomorrow into
the low seventies … Just in time for the first FULL DAY of Fall!! …
Enjoy
The Naugatuck PD, like many other police departments receives calls
regarding road rage … or other driver related issues such as being
followed or watched as they drive to their destinations … these
situations can certainly be frightening to those that are involved or
fall victim
… here are some basic tips to generally safeguard yourself
if these situations should occur;
• If someone follows you and
is persistent or becomes obscene, write down the license number and
report it to the appropriate police agency or the Department of Public
Safety and Police
as soon as possible.
• If you are trapped in your car, honk your horn in quick short bursts. This will attract people's attention.
• Make sure that all of the car doors are locked wh
enever you leave your vehicle.
• When returning to your car, have your keys ready so you can enter
your car quickly and be aware of your surroundings. If you have to look
into a purse or a pocket to find them, it takes extra time and you lose
sight of what is around you, which could allow someone to sneak up on
you.
• As you approach your car, look underneath to make sure no
one is hiding there. Before you enter your car lo
ok to see if all of
the doors are locked or if there are any uninvited passengers in the
back seat or on the floor. If your door locks are not the way you left
them or you see someone inside, leave the area as quickly as possible
and notify the Department of Public Safety and Police.
• Don't pick up hitchhikers.
Please remember that safety must always come first … don’t act
on emotions … and always call the police if you feel at all like you
are in any type of dangerous situation … you’re NOT bothering us – its
our job to protect you!!
