Important Message from our friends at SPPD

Criminal activity involves three basic premises:

  • Desire,
  • Ability,
  • and Opportunity.
Of these three, we can only control one: Opportunity. It is therefore vital to our communities that we reduce and hopefully eliminate the OPPORTUNITY from us being targeted for crime. We have been speaking and posting for months about Vehicle Burglaries occurring throughout our city, yet the message is being repeated again. Please take the time and the few extra seconds or minutes to verify that all of your doors are locked, windows are secured, and no valuables are left behind. Remove all electronics, firearms, currency, and place them into a more secure location. Help us eliminate the OPPORTUNITY.

Reggie Miller, St. Petersburg Police Department

From SIPOA: Please understand that when YOU forget to lock it up and are the victim of a burglary, it invites those undesirables to come into your neighborhood once again to see what else they can heist. PLEASE . . . stop and take that extra minute to prevent being a victim & increasing the likelihood of the thugs returning for more. Without any doubt, car doors are being checked every single night throughout our neighborhood by these thugs roaming and looking for opportunity. NEVER leave your car unlocked or with valuables unless you don’t mind losing them. THANK YOU for helping to keep us all safe!
