PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The City of Washington Police Department has received several complaints from residents in the area of Dunn Avenue and Wheeling Street, near Washington Park, regarding an individual or individuals placing grain or other feed on public roadways and on private property for the purpose of feeding the local deer population.

While we understand this may be done with good intentions, we ask that everyone please be respectful of both public roadways and private property.

Placing grain or feed on a public roadway can create unnecessary hazards for motorists and may encourage deer to congregate near traveled portions of the roadway. Likewise, placing feed on private property without the property owner’s permission is not appropriate and, depending upon the circumstances, could result in further action.

We are simply asking anyone wishing to feed wildlife to be considerate of where that activity is taking place and to respect the property of others.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our neighborhoods and roadways safe.

🚨 VEHICLE THEFT PREVENTION REMINDER 🚨

The City of Washington Police Department is advising residents of an increased number of vehicle thefts and thefts of items from inside vehicles.

Many of these incidents are occurring when vehicles are left unlocked or unsecured, with keys and personal belongings left inside.

Please take a few simple precautions to help protect yourself and your property:

🔒 Always lock your vehicle when it is unattended.
🔑 Never leave your keys or key fob inside the vehicle.
💼 Remove valuables and personal belongings from your vehicle whenever possible.
👀 Before walking away, take a moment to make sure your doors are locked and windows are secured.

Even when parked at home or in a familiar neighborhood, an unlocked vehicle can present an easy opportunity for theft.

Taking a few extra seconds to follow these tips can help prevent you from becoming a victim.
