Protect your property
Folks are encouraged to document all of their valuables with serial numbers, and take photos of them as well.
Break and Enters are still occurring, and one of the best things you can do to assist police is to have a list of all your valuables with associated serial numbers. Photos of the items are also good to have.
You should also consider looking in to some sort of home security: whether it be a full out security system with cameras and motion lights, or a few strategically placed trail cameras, or any sort of combination of these things.

East Hants RCMP continue to get numerous complaints regarding ATV’s abusing their privileges.
Everyone who is bothered by the erratic driving and increased speed. are encouraged to call in to the detachment to make a file.
