TIP OF THE WEEK

Sexual Assault is a crime of violence, not sexual passion. It is meant to degrade, humiliate and control. It can happen to anyone, at any time, at any place.

Safety at Home — Install good solid wood or metal doors. Install double cylinder deadbolt locks on all doors. Practice key control by limiting the number of keys that are given out. Always lock doors. Secure windows with a secondary locking device.   Acknowledge all visitors through a locked door. Make sure exterior is well lighted. Get an unlisted phone number or when listing your name, use initials only and do not include your address.
