During the 2024 holiday season, we want to remind the residents of Putnam County about the increased risk of porch pirating, where unattended packages are stolen from homes. To protect your deliveries, consider the following tips:
- Utilize smart package lockers or a nearby convenience store for delivery.
- Have packages sent to your workplace or office if you won't be home.
- Install security cameras or camera doorbell systems to deter theft.
- Consider getting an Amazon Key if eligible for secure package delivery.
- Request a signature upon delivery or reschedule delivery if needed.
- Arrange for vacation package holds or ask a trusted neighbor to hold onto your packages.
- Insure valuable packages for added protection.
- Sign up for delivery alerts to stay informed about your packages.
If you notice any suspicious activity in your neighborhood, please contact us at 845-225-4300.
