As the weather warms up in Pleasant Hill California residents of the area have come to expect one thing to come with the warm weather: solicitors and with the increase in solicitors expected to hit Pleasant Hill in the coming months the Pleasant Hill Police recently released a list of tips that home owners and renters in the area can use to protect themselves from solicitors.
No Soliciting
The first line of defense against solicitors that the Police Department recommendeds that home owners use is hanging a no soliciting sign on their homes or properties. These signs can even be hand written.
Leave The Door Closed?
Any Pleasant Hill resident who doesn’t feel comfortable with opening a door to a solicitor should leave it closed especially if they do not feel safe with opening their door to a solicitor.
Report Them
Home owners who suspect that a solicitor is violating the law should report that individual immediately by calling (925) 935-6400. Before reporting a solicitor, it’s important to have a good description of the solicitor and extra details like the make and model of their vehicle.
Work Together With Neighbors
Last of all, during the summer months, it’s important for home owners and renters in Pleasant Hill to work together by forming a neighborhood watch or doing more to look out for the best interests of their neighbors. Even though this step may seem simple enough it’s actually the most effective tool that can keep aggressive solicitors out of neighborhoods and help to insure that everyone has a safe and happy summer.
