Supporting the forming of a K-9 unit in Shippensburg

Victor and Carole Taylor (Shippensburg Borough)

Published: Monday, January 25, 2010 1:19 PM EST

We take pride in our community of Shippensburg and the Borough Police Department. But, we were disappointed in the Borough Council's decision to disapprove further progress of the Police K-9 unit program in Shippensburg. One of the fastest growing tools for police departments today are canines. If you read the police log in our local newspapers you will see that crime rate numbers are on the rise. You will then realize that there is a need for a trained K-9 unit in Shippensburg. In every city where there are K-9 units there are significant decreases in the crime rate. Carlisle and Chambersburg both have active K-9 units; they are helping to protect the citizens of these communities. A trained police dog can do many things that a police officer cannot. Canines are trained to support the police department. A canine is a very good deterrent against crime. The citizens in Shippensburg have spoken upon several occasions in our newspapers supporting the use of added protection by a K-9 unit. A drive for funds has been supported by local merchants, organizations, veterinarians and citizens. The funds will cover many things: food, health care, insurance, etc. The K-9 unit will cost the taxpayers nothing. The money is there for the unit now, and future pledges have been made. Our Borough Council should take the time to talk with the Police Department and get a better understanding of what a K.9 unit will do for our community. Shippensburg is a growing community and the need for a K.9 unit is now. We hope the Shippensburg Borough Council will reconsider and support our police department in their decision to add a K.9 unit to their department.

Respectfully,

Victor and Carole Taylor (Shippensburg Borough)

Tips on not being a victim of larceny

No matter what county or city you live in, property crimes have risen. One such property crime is theft of items from vehicles. Here are some helpful hints on how to avoid being a victim of a larceny from vehicle.

- Always lock your car. Whether you are at the mall, work, or home, always lock your car. Lock the car even if you don't have anything in it for a criminal to take. The thieves could always take your car or hide inside and wait on you to get in. You may have cash, credit cards, house keys or other items they will take from you.

- Never leave any valuables visible. Never leave packages, purses, or money lying on the seats or between the seats. Do not leave your garage door opener in the car. A thief can steal your garage opener and drive around the neighborhood hitting the button until your garage door opens. If you leave your wallet or registration in the car, the suspect will know your address, go directly to your house and use the garage door opener to enter your home.

- Park your car inside the garage if possible. Most criminals ride around looking for easy opportunities. When you leave your car unlocked in the driveway with valuables sitting on the seat, you are providing criminals an easy opportunity.

- Adding sensor lights on your house will keep subjects away who do not want to be seen. A sensor light comes on automatically when an object passes in its path. The lights are fairly easy to install and are relatively inexpensive.

- The best way to prevent crime is to know your neighbors and your neighborhood. Being a nosy neighbor is the best way to stop crime. If you see something suspicious, emergency or not, call 911. When you are familiar with your neighborhood you will know if the activity is suspicious. You know what right looks like, so if it looks wrong, call 911. Don't be the second part of the wrong.

- Don't wait until you are the victim to lock your car, or to call 911. The police are there for that reason. Do not assume your neighbor will call 911; you must call 911. The more calls the police receive, the faster the response. You may prevent a crime just by having an officer come out. If you call 911, ask to see an officer. Asking to see an officer gets the officer to your house, patrolling your streets and puts a crime prevention element in your neighborhood.
