100 Days of Summer Heat

Major Wagner representing the WRPD at the press conference

This morning local law enforcement agencies stood in support for the upcoming One Hundred Days of Summer HEAT.  This campaign is being launched by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety in Georgia (GOHS).

Summer HEAT is designed to reduce fatality crashes on Georgia's highway systems by targeting speeders around Georgia's metropolitan areas. 

According to the GOHS, on an average, 29 people die in motor vehicle crashes in Georgia every week.  The crashes that kill, maim and injure thousands of Georgians each year are preventable.

The Warner Robins Police Department is dedicated to the enforcement of traffic laws to keep the streets of Warner Robins safe.

Entering Auto Prevention

Automobile burglary, also known as entering autos, are becoming more common around Warner Robins. 

Automobile burglaries are crimes of opportunities.  These crimes can be prevented by taking a few steps to make your car unattractive to potential criminals.  It only takes a second for criminals to get into your car - especially if it is unlocked.

Getting into the habit of securing your valuables and locking you doors can help
prevent you from becoming a victim.  

Prevention

 

· Don’t leave valuables visible in your car! 

· Place valuables in your glove compartment or trunk.  If you can - make sure they are locked.

· Don’t leave shopping bags or packages in your back seat or passenger seat.  They can be easily viewed from the window.

· Don’t leave empty docking stations for your GPS, iPod, and other electronic
devices in your car.  They only tempt a potential criminal!

· ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS! Many of the entering auto cases worked by detectives are the result of someone not locking their car doors.
