Coffee County, Ala. (WDNews) — The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to take part in the #9PMRoutine, a nightly reminder aimed at helping prevent crime and keep neighborhoods safe.
The routine encourages residents to take a few simple steps each night, including locking vehicle doors, removing valuables from sight, turning on exterior lights, closing and securing garage doors, and making sure all doors and windows to their homes are locked.
Officials say many property crimes, including vehicle break-ins, often happen when doors are left unlocked. Taking a few extra minutes each evening can help reduce those opportunities and protect personal property.
The Sheriff’s Office also encourages neighbors to stay aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity. Working together as a community plays a key role in preventing crime.
Residents are asked to make the #9PMRoutine part of their nightly habits to help keep Coffee County safe.
