TAKE A STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE

. If you decide to have a party in your home or apartment consider not having it open to the public.
. When you host a party, lock your valuables in a room not accessible to the guest of the party.  Jewelry and small electronic items are easily concealed and popular targets in a party setting.
. When you do not recognize someone, ask him or her to leave. You can contact DPS by phone or use TC4T (text to 274637, TC4T and your message).  TipSubmit is an App available for smart phones (Androids or IPhones) that makes submitting your information very easy and allows you to send a picture also.    
. If you observe a crime in progress, STAY CALM AND CALL DPS (213)740-4321.  
. BE A GOOD WITNESS.  Describe exactly what you observed with as many details as possible.  Give complete descriptions such as sex, race, age, height, weight, hair color, clothing, tattoos, or scars.  Try to get the license plate if a vehicle is involved.
. You are also able to Report Crime ANONYMOUSLY via TipSubmit, a smart phone App, or text to 27467: TC4T and your message.
