Tip of the Week: Make sure blinds and curtains are fully closed in the morning or at night when showering and getting dressed, as warmer weather tends to bring out exhibitionists. Report anyone who appears suspicious and may be lingering in parking lots paying close attention to physical description, clothing, direction of travel and a description of their car if possible. Also, remember to keep doors locked, especially at night and if you're alone in your apartment.
