The Bay City Police Department is urging residents to follow the 9PM Routine to prevent crime. Each night at 9 PM, make sure to lock your car doors, remove valuables, secure your home, turn on outside lights, and activate alarms. Criminals often target unlocked cars, so locking doors and taking keys inside can make a big difference. Bay City police recommend setting a reminder to follow this routine every night. By staying vigilant, you help reduce the risk of vehicle break-ins and thefts.
