Just got this in my inbox from my Neighborhood Crimewatch Coordinator, in Plano, TX. If you are interested in taking any citizen crime prevention classes, October is the month to do it! Unfortunately the first class is tonight but there are 2 more scheduled this month. Below is the information I received.
Dear Plano Citizen:
The Plano Police Department Crime Prevention Unit is hosting several classes which you may be interested in attending. This letter is being mailed to many citizens, including people who may be victims of burglary, stalker victims, harassment victims, people with divorce complications, family violence situations, victims of "peeping Tom's", etc. If you are a victim of any one of these or know someone who is, all are invited to attend. Please feel free to invite friends, family and/or co-workers. The classes are entertaining and educational. They are as follows:
Property Protection - How to make your residence more difficult to get in to for any unwanted intruder. In this class you'll learn how vulnerable you really are. Whether you're attempting to keep out burglars, former spouses/boyfriends or girlfriends, stalkers, etc., this class is a must. There are many ways your current security can be violated. Learn what to do to improve your odds. This class is set for 10-14-08.
Personal Safety - You will learn how your natural intuition can keep you out of trouble and perhaps save your life. You'll learn to obey your instincts and know what to avoid in a crisis situation. All of us have that ‘sixth sense', pay attention to it. This class is scheduled for 10-21-08.
Identity Theft Prevention - One of the fastest growing crimes in recent years. How it happens, how to prevent it and what to do if you are a victim. This class will be held on 10-28-08.
Classes are being held at the Liberty Recreation Center located at 2601 Glencliff and are free of charge. Each class begins at 7:00pm and lasts anywhere from one and a half to two hours depending on questions from the audience. As stated above, you are encouraged to invite friends, family or co-workers to these classes. The Plano Parks and Recreation Department asks that you register through them prior to attending any of these classes. They can be reached by phone at 972-769-4234 or at www.planoparks.org if you wish to register online.
These classes are fun and entertaining. Please join me in assisting the Plano Police Department in lowering the overall crime rate in Plano as well as reducing your chance of becoming a victim. If you have any questions feel free to call me at 972-208-8045 during regular business hours.
I hope to meet you in the near future,
