Members of the Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police are actively conducting the “Lock It or Lose It” program across Dufferin County to encourage residents to secure their vehicles, homes, and belongings. This initiative aims to reduce the risk of theft and remind the public about the importance of protecting their possessions.
Key Benefits of the Program:
- Reduced Theft Risk: By locking your vehicles and securing valuables, you significantly lower the chances of theft in your neighborhood.
- Community Engagement: Dufferin OPP officers are engaging with the public, offering education on crime prevention, and building trust within the community.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your belongings are secure helps you feel safer and more confident in your daily activities.
- Crime Prevention: This proactive program helps deter thieves, making it more difficult for them to target easy opportunities.
Throughout the program, Dufferin OPP officers will be out in the community, speaking with residents and educating them about simple steps to prevent theft, such as locking doors and securing valuables. Officers will also be conducting patrols to ensure that vehicles and properties are locked and safe.
