GOVERNMENT community ENSURING A SAFE The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protect residents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain a crime-free environment requires an active, engaged, and aware community. Remember — the most important single act you can do is to be aware of your surroundings at all times and call the Police to report crimes or suspicious activities! As an observer, if the situation doesn’t look or feel right, it probably is not. By going with your instincts, your actions could help deter a crime in progress or save the life of a neighbor. OFFICE SECURITY Businesses are not immune to thefts and must learn to take precautionary measures to prevent crimes in the workplace committed by “office creepers.” Office creepers pose as coworkers, service personnel, job applicants, or visitors who dress in suitable attire. They are not noticed because they look like they should be in the work environment, but in reality are criminals looking for easy access to credit cards, money, laptops, car keys, and other valuable items in the office. AN OFFICE CREEPER’S SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR • An unfamiliar person going from office to office. • Someone standing in a hallway for a long period of time. • Someone waiting outside of the building near opening or closing time. • Someone who is “just looking for a phone to use.” • Watch for “head poppers,” a thief or burglar who pops his or her head into a room or wrong door, pretending to look for a specific person or office. Office procedures should include an early verbal greeting with good eye contact of all visitors to the office. TIPS FOR PREVENTING THEFT IN THE WORKPLACE • Do not leave reception areas unattended. • Report lost keys. Never place personal identification on key rings or share them with anyone, and never leave office keys to locked cabinets in unlocked drawers or on open hooks. • Protect your access cards and keys as though they were to your own home. Do not loan access cards and keys to other employees. Immediately report lost access cards and keys. Ensure that access cards and keys are recovered from personnel upon termination of employment. • When you leave your office, take your purse or wallet with you or lock it in a secure drawer or cabinet. Office creepers look for purses hidden under desks or wallets left in jacket pockets or briefcases. Move coat racks away from entrances. • Avoid keeping large amounts of petty cash in the office and be careful of cash collections for co-workers. • Always secure valuable equipment such as calculators, cameras, iPods, iPads, and cellular telephones in locked drawers or filing cabinets.

GOVERNMENT • Visually inspect identification badges, do not assume someone should be in your building because of a uniform. Never leave a repair person alone. Verify written orders for property to be removed from a location. Never allow repairs to security or communications equipment without first verifying the work order. • Be aware of bogus uniforms and charitable causes. Do not assume that a delivery/repair person or collector for a charity is legitimate. Do not patronize these individuals by viewing their merchandise. • Keep information secure. Memorize combinations and passwords for computers and safes. Never share passwords. Have a back-up system when a co-worker is on leave. • Question visitors who wander through your office. Legitimate guests will appreciate the offer of assistance and would-be solicitors or thieves will be deterred. • Be especially watchful for suspicious persons in parking lots, parking structures or on your premises.
