WR Officer Shares The Christmas Spirit

During the holiday shopping season the Warner Robins Police Department began deploying officers to walk through various stores to provide a police presence to help deter potential crime.

The Warner Robins Police Department is committed to providing a safe environment where people can live, work, and play. 

A Facebook post from this past weekend reflected how much our officers care about their community and the people in it.  

Here is an excerpt from the post:

“Came to Walmart with all 4 kids in the pouring rain to get milk and bead and some last minute things.  As I was getting a child settled in the buggy I was greeted by a WR police officer (Lieutenant Lance Watson) who gave me $50 in Walmart gifts cards.  He said this lady gave ten to him and didn’t know who to give them to and so he gave them to me.  God is good and so is the Christmas spirit.  It’s refereshing to know there are still good people in this world that God does answer prayer!!”

We are very proud of Lieutenant Watson for his kindness and professionalism.  

Black Friday Shopping Safety Tips

Black Friday is only a couple of days away. 

Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind while you shop this holiday season:

Tip #1:

   Shop with a partner or group.  Shopping in numbers greatly reduces your chances of becoming the target of a crime.  

Tip #2:

  Park in a well-lit area.  Choose parking areas that have adequate lighting.  

Tip #3:

  Keep vehicle doors locked and valuables out of sight.  Don't make your vehicle an easy target for criminals!  Put valuables and packages in your trunk and out of sight. Always keep your car doors locked. 

Tip #4:

  Be aware of your surroundings.  Crime can happen anywhere at anytime.  Be mindful of those around you.

Tip #5:

  Report suspicious activity.  Never be afraid to contact 911 if you feel a person or package is suspicious. You never know when you can help deter crime.
