Burglary<br />
Burglary is a particularly sensitive crime because <strong>of</strong> the invasive nature <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fense. Generally,<br />
burglaries are classified as Residential (dwelling or garage) or Non-Residential (commercial).<br />
Burglaries generally are crimes <strong>of</strong> opportunity: a burglar identifies the easiest target and strikes.<br />
Homeowners and business owners can deter burglars by locking doors, leaving lights on timers,<br />
lighting entrance ways, and having good locks and alarm systems in place. The <strong>Morton</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> Police<br />
Department will provide a free security survey for all home or business owners and provide security<br />
information to deter crime.<br />
More sophisticated burglary rings may also strike in <strong>Morton</strong> <strong>Grove</strong>. The <strong>Morton</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> Police<br />
Department maintains it’s partnership with the Burglary Task Force for identification and apprehension<br />
<strong>of</strong> criminals in these incidents.<br />
