CRIME PREVENTION ~ The department's crime prevention specialist, Master Police Officer Larry Birt, has managed a program that encourages people to have their home or business checked in an effort to protect them from burglars and other criminals. An appointment is set up with the officer and he meets with the resident, business owner or manager, and makes a full assessment of the building. A full written report of findings is provided with suggestions for improvement. This service is done free of charge. To schedule an appointment, please call the police department at (913) 322-5560 or e-mail larryb@merriam.org. Below you will find some basic crime prevention tips compiled by the Merriam Police Department. These tips are by no means the only way for you to avoid being a victim of a crime. These are just tips and not guaranteed to prevent you from being a victim of a crime. Please check back with us, we will be adding more tips in the future. Neighborhood Watch The Merriam Police Department also provides house checks for residents who are going to be out of town or otherwise away from home. This service is provided in an effort to reduce the possibility of Merriam citizens' homes being unlawfully entered while they are away. Citizens who are going to be away from home can complete the Merriam Police Department House Check form and return it to the Police Department prior to going out of town. |
