Chubbuck Police Shares Spring, Summer Tips with Residents

Just a few things we would like all citizens to consider this spring and summer. We have had a recent increase in residential burglaries in Chubbuck. Frequently warm weather and a general feeling of safety allows us to let our guards down, resulting in forgetting to close the garage door or failure to lock doors when we leave our homes or vehicles. Some out there are looking for easy opportunities to steal. Remember, the simple act of locking your doors and securing your property (cars included) greatly reduces “crimes of opportunity”. If you see anything unusual or suspect something isn’t right please call the Chubbuck Police Department at 208-237-7172.

We would like to remind all citizens of the importance of property maintenance. City codes require citizens to maintain their properties “reasonably” free of weeds and other blighting influences. By keeping up the appearance of our properties we can enhance the quality of life for all.

Warming weather draws visitors to our parks. Sometimes problems arise when we bring our four footed friends who sometimes use the park to relieve themselves. Please obey park rules by having your pet leashed at all times and by picking up after them when they do their thing.
