Motorists driving along Williams Drive may have noticed large signs warning drivers to take their belongings out of their vehicles, hide anything left inside and lock the vehicles doors.
The signs are part of a public awareness campaign to help reduce the number of vehicle burglaries in the city, and the campaign seems to be working, Police Chief Wayne Nero said.
In the past year weve reduced burglary of vehicles by 40 percent, Nero said.
In January 2013 the department began using PublicEngines software, which has allowed the department to analyze crime data and be able to identify trends in criminal activity.
