A Facebook post reminded residents to follow the #9PMRoutine, saying a few simple steps can make a big difference in keeping the community safe. The post said, “#9PMRoutine Reminder A few simple steps can make a big difference in keeping our community safe. Let’s look out for one another—every night. #9PMRoutine.”
The post echoes a common public safety practice often promoted by police and neighborhood groups that encourages people to take a short set of actions each evening to reduce the risk of theft and crime.
Typical steps associated with a nightly routine include locking doors and windows, setting alarms, securing vehicles and valuables, and turning on exterior lights. Those measures are intended to reduce opportunities for crime by making homes and property less attractive to potential offenders.
Community reminders such as this aim to keep safety top of mind and to foster mutual responsibility among neighbors. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
