Coffee topic is protecting your house

This Saturday Chief Steve Stahl of the Maricopa Police Department will be hosting Coffee with the Chief as part of an ongoing event the second Saturday of each month.

Stahl encourages residents to take part in this event “to help themselves and their police department in crime fighting endeavors.”

The department’s philosophy of crime prevention through environmental design will be discussed this month.

Sgt. Stephen Judd said the presentation will focus “on how people can use this type of philosophy and methodology to make their homes and or their businesses more secure.”

“We’ll probably talk about different kinds of locks and different things you can do to help secure your windows and doors,” Judd said.
