For the Week May 19, 2013

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to remind residents with the warmer weather approaching, comes the risk of severe weather. Below are a few tips to protect you and your loved ones in the case of a weather emergency.
  • Flash Flooding

    • When driving, know the depth of the water in a dip before crossing. Be aware that the roadbed may not be intact under the water. If the vehicle stalls, abandon it immediately; seek higher ground. Rapidly rising water may engulf the vehicle and its occupants and sweep them away. Good Rule of Thumb: TURN AROUND DO NOT DROWN!
    • Stay away from high water, storm drains, ditches, ravines or culverts. Even moving water only 6 inches deep can knock you off your feet.

  • Tornadoes

    • If out in a car, leave it immediately and go to a substantial shelter. If there is no shelter nearby, lie flat in the nearest ditch, ravine, or culvert with your hands shielding your head. Be alert for rapidly rising waters in the ditch.
    • If you are in a building – go to the lowest level of the structure such as a basement. If the structure you are in has no basement exists – go an interior room and cover yourself with a mattress, blanket, etc. Make sure children are well protected underneath.

  • Lightning

    • If you hear thunder, even a distant rumble, immediately move to a safe place. A safe place is described as a fully enclosed building (a house, store, school, etc.) Sheds, picnic shelters, tents or covered porches do not protect you from lightning. Remember: WHEN THUNDER ROARS, GO INDOORS!
    • If you hear thunder, do not use a corded phone in any case. Instead, use Cordless Phones and Cell Phones.
    • Keep away from electrical equipment, wiring and water pipes. Sensitive electronics should be unplugged well in advance of thunderstorms. Do not take a bath, shower or use other plumbing during a thunderstorm.

  • Have an Emergency Plan

    • Gather information about the emergency – stay tuned…listen to the radio or television.
    • Have two family meeting places – 1) a place to gather immediately outside the home in case of an emergency such as a fire; 2) a place to gather in case you cannot return to your home.
    • Have a friend or an out of state family member as the “family” check in contact for everyone to call if your family should get separated
    • Have a disaster supply kit and one for your pets as well. Some items to include: water – 3 gallons for each person/pet; food – at least three day supply per person/pet; items for seniors/disabled persons; a manual can opener; disposable – plates, cups, utensils; a utility knife; blankets; hygiene items; prescriptions; first aid kit; battery powered radio and/or television; battery powered lamp and/or flashlights; cash; copies of credit cards, medical prescriptions, important documents, your pets paperwork (license, immunization, etc.) kept in a waterproof sealed container; and a change of clothing for each person in your household. For further information - www.redcross.org/preparedness/cdc

  • Practice and maintain your plan

    • Replace stored water and food in your disaster supply kit every six months.
    • Test smoke alarms monthly; replace (recharge) batteries every six months.
    • Make sure your family remembers meeting places, phone numbers and safety rules.

    For more information on weather, emergency plans and safety tips, download free brochures or to sign up for alerts, go to these websites:

Help us by being prepared and having an emergency plan and by staying safe during severe weather.

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to remind residents that with the coming of Spring and the Summer fast approaching, many people begin to ride their bicycles for both pleasure and health reasons. All bicyclists should become familiar with the basic bicycle rules of the road and the State of Maryland equipment requirements for all bicycles.

BICYCLE SAFETY
  • Registration: Bicycles are required by law to be registered in Montgomery County. Registration is done at the Montgomery County Police Stations for free.
  • Bicycles can also be registered at the Rockville City Police Department for free.
  • Bike Helmet: Montgomery County Law states that children under18 years of age and younger must wear a bicycle helmet while riding or being carried on a bicycle, including bicycles with training wheels. Bicycle helmets must be approved by the Snell Memorial Foundation or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
  • Bicycles must be equipped with a red reflector to the rear and a white reflector to the front.
  • All bicycles must be equipped with a bell or other device (excluding sirens or whistles) capable of giving a signal audible for a distance of at least one hundred (100) feet.
  • Brakes: All bicycles must be equipped with a braking device which allows the operator to make the braked wheels skid on dry, level, clean pavement.
  • Lights: bicycles that are being operated after dark, the law requires that a white headlight on the front and a red light on the back.
  • Make sure tires are properly inflated.
  • Passengers: a bicycle may not carry any passenger unless it is designed for and equipped with a seat securely attached to it for each passenger.

For the Week May 5, 2013

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to provide parents with a few tips to help prevent their children from becoming a victim of cyberbullying.

What your children need to know:
  • Never give out personal information online, whether it is in instant messaging, chat rooms, blogs or personal websites.
  • Never tell anyone (but your parent) your password. (This includes not even telling friends.)
  • If you receive a mean or threatening message, DO NOT RESPOND. Save it or print it out and show it to your parents.
  • NEVER open e-mails from someone you don’t know or from someone you know is a bully.
  • DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ONLINE THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT YOUR CLASSMATES OR PARENTS TO SEE.
  • Do not send messages when you are angry. Before clicking “send”, ask yourself how you would feel if you received the message.
Since most cyberbullying takes place at home, parents can help protect their children from cyberbully by following these few simple tips:
  • Keep your home computer in a busy area of the house.
  • Set up e-mail and chat accounts with your children. Make sure that you know their screen names and passwords and that they don’t include any personal information in their online profiles.
  • Regularly go over their instant messenger “buddy list” with them. Ask who each person is and how your children know him or her.
  • Print out a list of commonly used acronyms in instant messenger and chat rooms. This information can be obtained by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s website (www.missingkids.com). In the search field type “acronyms”.
  • Discuss cyberbullying with your children and ask them if they have ever experienced it or know about it happening to someone.
Help us in the fight against crime, by not becoming a victim.

For the Week April 28, 2013 *Tips of the Week:* The Rockville City Police Department would...]]>

For the Week April 28, 2013

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to provide parents with a few tips in teaching their children the proper way to use 9-1-1 to report emergencies:
  • Never say “nine eleven”. Since there is no eleven on the keypad or dial, always say “nine-one-one.
  • Post your address near the phone. Teach your child to memorize your address and phone number. (In case your child needs to leave the house to make the call from a neighbor’s home.)
  • Teach your child to always call from a safe place. If there is a fire in the house, teach them to get out first and then call.
  • Teach your child never to call 9-1-1 as a prank or joke. Explain to your child that they can get into trouble and keep someone who really needs help from getting it on time.
  • Explain to your child that 9-1-1 is not for animal emergencies.
  • Teach your child that when calling 9-1-1 for an emergency, how to explain the situation to the dispatcher. Tell your child that they should remain calm and to give their name and address to the dispatcher and to explain why they are calling. Teach your child to listen carefully to the dispatcher, as he or she may give them important information that can possibly help during the emergency.

For the Week April 21, 2013

Tips of the Week:

With the tragic bombing incidents that occurred during last week’s Boston Marathon, the Rockville City Police Department would like to remind everyone that “If you see something, Say something”.

It can be difficult to know just what "something suspicious" looks like. But you know the world around you—the things that you see every day. You will notice if something seems a little strange, out of place or just not quite right.

If you encounter something suspicious, report your suspicions to police.

IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Never spy on or pry into your neighbors' affairs or property, but do keep your eyes open, as you would in a neighborhood watch. Some things to be aware of:
  • Strange or abandoned vehicles on the side of the road.
  • Service vehicles in front of houses, where that type of service isn't taking place.
  • People you don't recognize "hanging around" your neighborhood for long periods of time.
  • People videotaping or using surveillance equipment like binoculars.
  • Unauthorized personnel around power lines, poles, transformer boxes, sewers, storm drains, gas lines or other utility equipment.
IN THE WORKPLACE

If something doesn't look like "business as usual," don't hesitate to check with your boss or security personnel. Some things to be aware of:
  • Packages, bags or boxes left unattended in public areas like a lobby or parking garage.
  • Unexpected or odd-looking packages mailed to your place of business.
  • People you don't recognize entering unauthorized areas.
  • Anyone tampering with surveillance cameras, safety systems, machinery or other sensitive equipment.
  • Exposed wiring, leaks, strange smells or other signs of potential tampering.
DURING YOUR COMMUTE

Stay alert around buses, trains, bridges and roadways. If something doesn't look right, tell the nearest authority or transit employee. Some things to be aware of:
  • Bags, boxes or other packages left unattended on buses and trains, in stations or on train tracks.
  • People entering unauthorized areas at train or bus stations.
  • Exposed wiring, leaks, strange smells or other signs of potential tampering on buses and trains.
  • People videotaping, sketching or taking notes on transit equipment or facilities.
  • Placing a package or luggage in a different compartment than the one being occupied.
  • People who stay at bus or train stations for long periods without getting on.
OTHER THINGS THAT MIGHT BE SUSPICIOUS
  • Strange vehicles left unattended near busy areas or under bridges.
  • Strange packages left unattended in malls, parking garages, stadiums, theaters or other crowded public places.
  • People wearing oversized clothing for their body type or excessively bulky clothing in hot weather.
  • Anyone abandoning an item behind and leaving the area quickly.
  • People wearing a uniform but not appearing to be involved in an appropriate activity.
  • People openly possessing a weapon or dangerous item.
  • Strange chemical smells.
"If you SEE something, SAY something!"

Report suspicious activity to the Rockville Police Department at 240-314-8900. If you believe it's an emergency, call 9-1-1.

Help us in the fight against crime, by not becoming a victim.

  • Use a shredder prior to disposing of bank and credit card statements, cancelled checks, pre-approved credit card offers and any other financial or personal information.
  • Cancel all unused credit cards and maintain a list of active cards and accounts.

For the Week March 31, 2013 *Tips of the Week:* *The Rockville City Police Department would...]]>

For the Week March 31, 2013

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to remind residents that with warmer weather upon us, we need to be aware and vigilant to an increase in pedestrian traffic.

Safety Tips for Pedestrians:
  • DO NOT JAYWALK. Always cross the street at marked crosswalks or signaled intersections
  • STOP AT THE CURB BEFORE CROSSING AND LOOK BEFORE CROSSING: Look left, right and then left again.
  • Watch for vehicles pulling out of parking spaces.
  • Use the pedestrian pushbuttons.
  • Begin crossing the street on the walk signal. DO NOT START CROSSING IF THE DO NOT WALK SIGNAL HAS STARTED TO FLASH.
  • Stay visible after dark and in bad weather. Wear light colored clothing, or clothing with reflective tape, and carry a flashlight.
  • Always walk on the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk and you have to walk in the road, always walk facing traffic, so you can see what is approaching you.
  • Treat parking lots as you would a road – be aware and constantly look for moving vehicles.
  • DO NOT WALK BEHIND A VEHICLE THAT IS BACKING UP.
  • DO NOT ASSUME DRIVERS SEE YOU.
Safety Tips for Drivers:
  • Always stay alert for pedestrians, especially in school zones, and in public transportation areas (bus depots, train stations, etc.)
  • Don’t assume pedestrians see you.
  • BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS BACKING OUT OF A SPACE – especially when you are parked next to a taller vehicle that obstructs your view.
  • SLOW DOWN IN PARKING LOTS – they are not speedways
  • Treat Parking lots as you would a road.
  • STOP FOR ALL PEDESTRIANS IN THE CROSSWALK.
Help us in the fight against crime by not becoming a victim.

For the Week March 17, 2013

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to remind residents that with the Spring season approaching bringing warmer weather, many people begin to ride their bicycles for both pleasure and health reasons. All bicyclists should become familiar with the basic bicycle rules of the road and the State of Maryland equipment requirements for all bicycles.

BICYCLE SAFETY
  • Registration: Bicycles are required by law to be registered in Montgomery County. Registration is done at the Montgomery County Police Stations for free. (Bicycles can also be registered at the Rockville City Police Department for free.)
  • Bicycle Helmets: Montgomery County Law states that children under18 years of age and younger must wear a bicycle helmet while riding or being carried on a bicycle, including bicycles with training wheels. Bicycle helmets must be approved by the Snell Memorial Foundation or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
  • Bicycles must be equipped with a red reflector to the rear and a white reflector to the front.
  • All bicycles must be equipped with a bell or other device (excluding sirens or whistles) capable of giving a signal audible for a distance of at least one hundred (100) feet.
  • Brakes: All bicycles must be equipped with a braking device which allows the operator to make the braked wheels skid on dry, level, clean pavement.
  • Lights: Bicycles that are being operated after dark, the law requires that a white headlight on the front and a red light on the back.
  • Tires: Always make sure tires are properly inflated.
  • Passengers: A bicycle may not carry any passenger unless it is designed for and equipped with a seat securely attached to it for each passenger.
BICYLE RULES OF THE ROAD
  • Obey all regulatory signs and traffic lights. When on the road, you are considered yourself as a driver. You are a part of that traffic.
  • Never ride against traffic. AND never ride more than two abreast – keep in one lane and be careful not to block traffic.
  • Use hand signals to tell motorists what you intend to do
  • Ride in a straight line to the right of the traffic and about a car door width away from parked cars
  • Do not carry any package, which prevents you from using both hands in the operation of the bicycle. One hand must be kept on the handle bars are all times
  • Children should never ride after dark. Wear bright reflective clothing at all times. Always wear shoes. Make sure pant legs are not loose
  • Carry identification with you at all times. Also put some identification on your bicycle.
Help us in the fight against crime, by not becoming a victim.

For the Week March 10, 2013

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to advise residents on how to protect themselves from Impostor Scams.

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) impostors may use phone calls, e-mails, text messages, letters and/or faxes to “trick” their victims. Below are some tips for dealing with these scams:
  • You are asked to act NOW. Resist the pressure to act immediately. The key to successful impostor scams is to get you (the victim) to send money before the impostor’s true identity is revealed.
  • You are asked to wire money. Remember that wiring money is like sending cash; you can’t get it back once it has been sent. DO NOT WIRE MONEY IN EXCHANGE FOR A CHECK…many of these are scams and the checks are fake!
  • You are asked to pay to collect winnings. Legitimate sweepstakes do not require winners to pay up front for insurances, taxes and shipping to claim a prize.
  • The caller states they are with a government agency. Caller may state they are with a government agency stating that they have money for you, but in order to receive it they need your personal information such as a social security number or a bank account. They may also be calling from a DC area code such as one beginning with 202. Remember that federal agencies do not run sweepstakes.
  • The caller claims to be someone you care about. Caller may pretend to be a “panicked” relative or friend in an emergency situation and needs cash quick and fast. Furthermore the caller may ask for you to wire money to an account via Western Union in order to save them from the emergency situation. REMEMBER to confirm their identity, call the number you know is real and check the story with others in your circle. Also, ask the caller questions that a stranger would not be able to answer.
For more tips on Internet and telephone fraud, scams, etc., visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website at www.FTC.gov and click on consumer information.

Help us in the fight against crime by not becoming a victim.

For the Week March 3, 2013

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to remind residents to practice Cell Phone Safety Tips:
  • Always be aware of your surroundings; thieves may be watching you.
  • Use your cell phone security lock.
  • Avoid being distracted by your cell phone either by texting or by conversation when walking on the street. Pedestrians being struck by vehicles or hurt while texting is on the rise.
  • Avoid using your cell phone while driving. In the State of Maryland, it is illegal to be texting while driving and if convicted is it punishable by up to a $500.00 fine. Talking while holding a cell phone while driving is a secondary offense and is also punishable by up to a $100.00 fine, if convicted. Instead use a hands-free device while talking on your cell phone.
  • Keep your cell phone out of sight; don’t hang it from your purse or jacket.
  • Never loan your cell phone to a stranger; in case of an emergency, offer to make the call for them.
  • If your cell phone is stolen, report the loss immediately to your cell phone company and the police.
Help us in the fight against crime by not becoming a victim.
