Don’t Be a Victim of Crime

The Springfield Police have seen an increase in unlocked vehicle burglaries. Remember it only takes 30 seconds for a thief to break into your car and steal your valuables; 20 seconds for you to secure your valuables in the trunk; and 1 second for you to lock your car and take the keys with you.

If you see something, say something. For emergencies, call 911. For suspicious behavior call the Springfield Police’s non-emergency number at 217.788.8311.
