Holiday Package Tips

Residents Of Weatherly,

As we approach the Christmas holiday season, it’s essential to be proactive in safeguarding your packages from porch pirates. Unfortunately, this time of year tends to see an increase in thefts. Here are some helpful tips to protect your deliveries:

1. Schedule Deliveries: Whenever possible, schedule package deliveries when you’re home or opt for delivery at a secure location.

2. Security Cameras: Install security cameras that capture your porch area. They can be a deterrent and provide evidence if needed.

3. Delivery Notifications: Sign up for delivery notifications, so you know when your package is arriving.

4. Request Signature Confirmation: Choose delivery options that require a signature upon delivery.

5. Neighborhood Watch: Communicate with your neighbors and establish a neighborhood watch to keep an eye on each other’s properties.

6. Secure Mailbox: If you have a mailbox, make sure it’s secure and not overflowing with mail, signaling your absence.

7. Retrieve Packages Promptly: Retrieve your packages as soon as possible after delivery.

If you see any suspicious activity in your neighborhood, please don’t hesitate to contact the Weatherly Police Department immediately at 570-427-4241 or 911. Together, we can help prevent porch theft and keep our community safe during the holiday season.
