Police are warning residents that burglars are using Wi-Fi jammer devices which block or disrupt nearby Wi-Fi devices such as security cameras or security systems. Burglars have recently entered properties through second-story balconies.
- Add a padlock to electrical circuit boxes to deter burglars from tampering with alarm systems
- Install hard wired cameras and motion lights around your home. There are some available which send a video to your monitoring company and which have a voice element for your monitoring company to confront people entering your property.
- Talk with your internet provider about hard-wiring your security system

3. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS REMINDER
Don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour before you go to bed Saturday night, March 9. Daylight savings begins this Sunday, March 10! It’s time to “spring forward” – set your clocks forward one hour!
Daylight Saving Time is also a great time to check the things that keep us safe and ready for emergencies. It is a good time to:
- Replace the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors
- Double check the expiration dates on your emergency kits and replace missing/expired items.
For some history on Daylight Saving Time, take a look at https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/05/health/daylight-saving-time-explainer-wellness/index.html
