Police encourage everyone to plan ahead, use delivery tracking and alerts, and enable notifications on parcel arrivals and request a signature upon delivery.
According to the RNC, “porch pirates” are lurking trying to snatch unattended packages that have been delivered to some doorsteps. With the holiday shopping and shipping season in full swing, police are offering some simple steps to help keep deliveries safe. Police encourage everyone to plan ahead, use delivery tracking and alerts, and enable notifications on parcel arrivals and request a signature upon delivery. Choose a secure option like having deliveries sent to a workplace, a pick up location, or a friend’s home where someone will be able to receive the item. Use the package hold option to pick up at a time convenient for you. Install a security or doorbell camera which can help to deter thieves and identify a suspect if a theft occurs.
