Rockville City Police Department Police Crime Report

For the Week ending July 12, 2010

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to provide residents with the following tips on what to do if you are involved in a vehicle collision.

• Your safety is the first and most important thing. Be safe and watch for traffic.
• Do not stand in the road without safety features, including items such as road flares, traffic cones or someone wearing a traffic vest to direct traffic around the scene.
• Determine if there are any injuries. If so, do not move vehicles or anyone who is injured. Immediately notify 911 and be prepared give the following information:
  1. The exact location of the crash.
  2. Your name, address and phone number.
  3. Nature of injuries.
  4. If there are any utilities involved, i.e., power lines, fire hydrants, etc.
• You may provide first aid but unless absolutely needed, do not move an injured person, as that may cause greater injury.
• Try to keep all parties calm and in a central location, including witnesses.
• If a witness cannot wait for the police to arrive, you do not have the authority to detain them.
• If possible, have that person write down his/her name, address, home and work numbers. It would also help to ask him/her to write a brief statement of what he/she witnessed.
• Do not argue with the involved parties or witnesses about who is at fault or make any inflammatory statements.
• If there are no injuries and the cars are drivable, move them out of the road to a safe location such as a parking lot or a side street.

Help us by staying safe and not becoming a victim.
