Security Tip Saturday

I belong to a Facebook group that is made up of people from my part of town (the good ole PRP area). This week, someone posted pictures of two guys panhandling in one of our shopping center parking lots.  Others chimed in, posting their pictures of these two guys, who evidently were asking for handouts all day long.  As you can imagine, this prompted a very lengthy discussion about how we work hard for our money and shouldn't have to deal with these two guys asking for money.  Someone finally posted a helpful post - she posted a phone number for LMPD (Louisville Metro Police Department) and urged people to call the next time they saw these guys or others panhandling in parking lots or elsewhere. 

The Security Tip is to take a few seconds and Google "non-emergency police department phone number" for the city you live in, and program the number in your cell phone.  The next time you see people panhandling, call the non-emergency number and let the police handle it. 

As always, be safe and secure.
