| Vandalism Prevention |
| Many of the same precautions taken to discourage burglars may also discourage arsonists and vandals. By taking a few preventive steps, you can help curb these crimes: |
| |
- Most vandalism occurs in the evenings and on weekends so set up prevention techniques accordingly.
- Post anti-vandalism signs as a deterrent.
- Schedule custodial crews at night.
- Provide a means of incentive for reporting vandalism.
- Keep local law enforcement agencies informed about acts of vandalism to your property.
- Repair damage promptly: the sooner you repair vandalism, the less chance there will be more vandalism.

| |
| Encourage community participation with newspapers, radio and television are good methods of mobilizing the community to be concerned and watch for vandalism and arson. |
