JCSO Public Relations Officer / Thursday, November 30, 2017 / Categories: Press Releases Beware of Porch Pirates (Photo) With more online purchases arriving for the holidays, it's time to focus on theft prevention. Here are a few tips: * Check your package tracking often so you know when to expect deliveries. * If you're not home during the day, have your packages delivered to a neighbor or to your workplace. Some shipping companies also have options to customize your delivery or to pick up your packages at their facility. * Install surveillance cameras around your home. The presence of cameras will often deter thieves. If not, the video can help us track them down. * Be a vigilant neighbor. If you see a person or vehicle following a delivery truck around, let us know so we can check it out. Try to get a good description of the vehicle, a license plate number, and a description of the people involved, if possible. Thefts or suspicious activity can be reported to dispatch at (541) 776-7206.
