Message From the Chief
The South Charleston Police Department would like to remind all of our residents and visitors to remove items of value from your vehicles when possible. If it is not possible to remove your valuables, we highly recommend that you lock your vehicle, especially during the night. We typically see an increase of theft related offenses throughout the holiday season and a majority of our break-ins involve unlocked vehicles. If you see anything, please contact the Clark County Sheriff's Office Dispatch Center at 937.328.2560. Here are a few tips that may prevent you from becoming a victim:1. Keep your car visible and park under a lighted area.
2. Don't make it easy. Keep windows rolled up and lock your doors.
3. Hide your valuables. Many thieves look into vehicles before entering so keep your stuff out of sight. Avoid placing items of value in your glove box because the thief will look there first.
4. Trust your instincts. If you see suspicious activity, call the police. You may be helping keep a neighbor from becoming a victim of a vehicle break-in.
Thank you. We hope you have a safe holiday season.
