Tip of the Week

The Rockville City Police Department would like to remind residents to lock the doors and windows to their homes when leaving and at night when they go to bed. Residents are also reminded to make sure their homes have adequate exterior lighting and that bushes, shrubs and trees are kept trimmed to prevent burglars from hiding and branches from blocking out lighting. Motion detectors and security alarms are also a great investment to keep a home secure.
