Joplin Police Department offers tips to deal with porch pirates


(From the Joplin Police Department)

Joplin Police remind you that the holidays are a very active season for porch pirates, who seek to steal package deliveries. To reduce their opportunities to plunder your loot, we encourage you to try any of the following:

- Have the delivery service schedule delivery when you are home.
- Have packages delivered to a neighbor who will be home.







- Have the delivery service hold your package until you can come pick it up.
- Have your package delivered to your place of work during the day.
- Open a PO Box at your local post office and have packages delivered there.

These tips are relevant all year-round, but we want to remind you this Black Friday weekend when many people will be placing delivery orders.

  1. Or have a camera security system and meet them at your porch for a little discipline

  2. Or the police department could always arrest them and put them in jail, the prosecutors and judges could do their jobs and keep these fools locked up
