Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to provide some Neighborhood Safety Tips for parents to keep your family and neighborhood safe:

• Know where your children are. Have your children tell you or ask permission before leaving the house and give them a time to check in or be home. Have a phone number of where your child will be.
• Get to know your children’s friends. Meet the parents before letting your children go to their home and keep a list of the phone numbers. If you cannot meet the parents in person, then call and talk to them.
• Help children learn important phone numbers. Have your children memorize his/her home phone number and address; and your work and cell phone numbers. If your child has trouble memorizing these, write them down on a card and have them carry it at all times. Always tell your children where you will be and how to best reach you.
• Set limits on where your children can go in your neighborhood. Are there certain homes in the neighborhood you do not want your children to go to? Do you want them to cross busy roads? Are they allowed to play in vacant buildings or alleys?
• Choose a safe house in your neighborhood. Pick a neighbor’s house where your children can go if they need help. Point out places they can go for help, like stores, libraries and police stations.
• Teach your children not to talk to strangers. Children should be taught not to talk to or accept gifts or rides from strangers. Tell them that if they see a suspicious person, they should tell a trusted adult immediately.
• Work together with your neighbors. Watch out for suspicious and unusual behavior in your neighborhood. Get to know your neighbors and their children. Call police immediately if you see anything suspicious.
