Security Tip Saturday

For the past week, there have been a lot of posts on Facebook, emails, and even reports on the local news about men going door to door soliciting in name only for a security company.  Most of them are wearing backpacks, and some even wear shirts that have the name of a security system company on them, in an attempt to make homeowners think they're legit. It's a scam, and these men are thugs simply trying to get info about you and your home.  As I've always said, if you see something, say something.  If you see guys or gals that fit this description going through your neighborhood, don't hesitate to call 911.  The police will send someone out to check it all out.  Before you call the police, please take a few seconds to get as good of a description of the solicitors as possible. 

Keep in mind -- in this day and age of the internet, social media, smart phones, etc,  companies don't use the old school door-to-door method of sales anymore.  If someone knocks on your door, just don't answer.  If they keep knocking, call 911.
