50 Door Hangers A Month

Erie Police Officers want to reminder residents to protect their property and to help do that, officers have placed an average of 50 door hangers per month at resident’s homes after seeing open garage doors. Leaving garages open and unattended is a huge magnet for theft! But officers cannot be everywhere at all times. If you’re prone to leaving your garage door open, see the news release for tips on how to Help Close the Door on Crime.
