Dangers of Drinking and Driving

 

Dangers of Drinking and Driving

 

Did You Know?

 

Every 2-hours, three people are killed in alcohol-related highway crashes.

 

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Transportation Safety Administration alcohol-related highway crashes account for approximately 15,000 deaths each year.  That’s over 40 percent of all highway related fatalities.

The consequences of drinking and driving:

• Arrests
• Lost of employment
• Property damage
• Injuries
• Deaths

It’s the beginning of the summer season and we are all looking to have some fun in the sun. Golfing, barbecues, pool parties and family vacations, all things we look forward to enjoying. Don’t let alcohol get in the way. The Crime Prevention Section would like to give you the following tips on how to intervene if someone you know is about to drink and drive:

• If the person is a close friend, try to use a soft, calm approach at first.  Suggest that he/she had too much to drink and it would be better to let someone else drive or to take a cab.
• Be calm. Joke about it.  Make light of it.
• Try to make it sound like you are doing them a favor.
• If the person is somebody you don’t know well, speak to their friends and have them make an attempt to persuade him/her to hand over the keys.  Usually, he or she will listen.
• If the person is a good friend, spouse or significant other, tell him/her that if they insist on driving, you are not going with them.  Tell them you will call someone else for a ride, take a cab or walk.
• Locate the person’s keys while he/she is preoccupied and take them away.  Most likely, he or she will think they lost the keys and will be forced to find another mode of transportation.
• If possible, avoid embarrassing the person or being confrontational.  This makes them appear vulnerable to alcohol and its effects.

Arrive Alive.

Don’t Drink and Drive.

Crime Tip: Outsmarting Phone Thieves

Outsmarting Phone Thieves Smartphone thefts have increased sharply in recent years in New York City due to their popularity around the city, the country, and the world.  Smartphone’s are in high demand- whether new or old-and the high monetary return makes them especially appealing to thieves. The Crime Prevention Section would like to give you detailed steps you can take to outsmart a Smartphone thief: When using your Smartphone in public: Stay in a constant state of readiness; stay alert to lurking predators and unexpected dangers. Avoid leaving your phone on the table at restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Avoid leaving your phone in an open handbag and never hang the bag over the back of a chair when out at a store or café. Do not call attention to yourself by walking with your Smartphone in hand when not in use. When traveling by bus or train remain alert and remember that most thefts on public transit occur near bus and train doors. Register and lock it up: Register your Smartphone with tracking apps. (Example: iPhone users – “Find My iPhone”, Android users – “Where’s My Droid”, and “Look Out”) antitheft apps allow you to remotely lock your phone, wipe it clean of sensitive information and even remotely set off a high-pitched phone alarm. Register your Smartphone with the NYPD Operation ID program at your local Police Precinct. Ask for the Precinct, Crime Prevention Officer. Password protect your Smartphone. Know your numbers: Smartphone model number, serial number and International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) number. o   Note: Save where you can easily retrieve them F.C.C. maintains a full list of carrier contacts for reporting stolen phones: AT&T customers call 1-800-331-0500; Verizon, call 1-800-922-0204; Sprint, call 1-888-211-4727; and T-Mobile, call 1-800-937-8997. Informational videos on how to safeguard your electronics, they are available below: Electronic Devices PSA Safeguarding Your Electronics For further safety tips, please visit www.NYPDCommunityAffairs.org or by calling the Community Affairs Bureau at 646-6105323.

WRBA Poll: Which Lewis Was Your Lewis?

There were 2 Lewis of Woodhaven stores – one at 90th and Jamaica and one at 85th and Jamaica.  Only 5 blocks separated them – but to some residents of Woodhaven they were night and day (but both wonderful).  You will encounter residents who will insist that one was much better than the other — so we’re going to see how you feel about it — it’s

Woodhaven Tree Watch – We Need Your Help

The WRBA Parks Committee had their 2nd meeting this week and reviewed tree planting requests.  Our recent efforts to seek input from residents resulted in 15 requests which we will be tracking.  We will bring you an update on these requests in a future post.

Right now we are asking your help in tracking the tree requests that Parks and the City says are currently in the works.  There are 82 Trees scheduled to be planted in Woodhaven and we do not have the manpower to constantly drive all over the neighborhood to see if they’ve been planted.

Here is how you can help.  Click here to see a list of locations we were given.

You can also view the locations on the map below:

You can also view an interactive version of this map by clicking here.

Each location has a number.  Please let us know which locations you can keep an eye on.  Either a location in front of your house, or in front of the place you work — or even just a place you know that you walk or drive past on a regular basis.  Send us an email at info@woodhaven-nyc.org and tell us which numbers you can help us with (“I can watch 31, 33, 47, 48, 49″ etc.)

Please help us keep on top of this project — any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

5 Tips To Prevent Home Burglary

According to the FBI, there were on average more than 4,000 burglaries a day throughout the country. To keep your home off the books, help protect it with these five simple tips:

1. Keep your front entrance clear. The FBI reports that more than a third of burglars enter through the front door. How can you discourage them? Keep your entrance free of shrubbery or furnishings so your neighbors can clearly see everything that’s going on. And make sure the entrance is brightly lit at night.

2. Install screen doors at the front and back. It may look decorative, but a solid locking screen door can dissuade criminals, who want to get in and out as quickly as possible. Your main door should be solidly built and reinforced, with a deadbolt that makes it harder for crooks to get in.

3. Secure your windows. Make sure your windows are double-pane glass, which is not only harder to break into but can also make your home’s heating and cooling more efficient. You can protect your windows by putting plants or furniture underneath them inside your house. No burglar wants to climb onto a cactus.

4. Keep your lights on a timer. Automatic timers that switch your house lights on and off create the illusion that someone’s home even when you’re away. For the backyard, try a motion-sensor light.

5. Don’t advertise your vacation. Save the social-media updates about your Caribbean cruise until after you’ve returned. Letting the world know you’re about to leave your home unattended is an invitation to strangers who may be listening in. Before you set off, ask a neighbor to collect your mail and clear away fallen leaves, which, to observant criminals, is a sign that nobody’s home.
For further safety tips, please visit www.NYPDCommunityAffairs.org or by calling the Community Affairs Bureau at 646-6105323.
