In light of the holiday season, Coplay Police Department is urging residents to protect themselves from “porch pirates” who may take packages left attended.

Residents are urged to have cameras installed and to regularly check the batteries. Residents should also keep track of when their packages are expected to arrive.

If anyone sees anything suspicious, they should call 911 and give as much information to the dispatcher as possible.

Stay safe this holiday season!
