Residents of Waukesha County are receiving a nightly reminder to safeguard their belongings and secure their property, a timely prompt in this era of opportunistic crime. The Waukesha County Sheriff's Department has taken to social media with its "#9pm Routine" campaign. The essence of the message is simple yet crucial: "It's 9:00pm! Lock your car doors and remove any valuables. Remove your garage door opener and keys! Close overhead garage door. Lock your exterior windows and doors. Turn on your exterior lights," the department posted on Facebook.
The "#9pm Routine" also represents a shared responsibility between law enforcement and community members. Through the collective effort of vigilance, the Waukesha Sheriff's Department believes the partnership can lead to a safer environment for all.
