SAFETY TIPS In the event of an actual carjacking, Caledon OPP would like to provide some tips to help the public safeguard themselves and their vehicles: Always remain vigilant, especially while driving at night; If you see someone coming toward your vehicle, lock the doors and set the alarm with your key fob. Noise will attract attention to yourself and your vehicle, which may deter those looking to steal your vehicle; Some individuals use intentional rear-end collisions as a tactic to commit carjackings. Once the motorist steps around back to inspect the damage, the individual jumps inside the vehicle and flees the scene; If your vehicle is rear-ended, remain calm; Do not exit the vehicle until it is safe to do so; Take note of the description of the driver, passengers (if applicable) and vehicle, including the colour, make, model and license plate number; If you notice anything suspicious, remain inside your vehicle and call your police service of jurisdiction, or 9-1-1 in case of an emergency; If you suspect someone is following you, drive to the nearest police station. Alternatively, you can park your vehicle in any public lot that is well lit and likely to have security cameras, such as a gas station. Call police and notify them of the potential threat to your safety; If you are approached by armed suspects, remain calm. Comply with their demands and call police when it is safe to do so. Avoid confrontation with the individual; Ensure your driveway is well lit. Security cameras are also considered an asset.  While vehicle crime is not new, the level of violence, intimidation and firearms used in these incidents represents an evolving threat to public safety. The OPP would like to remind the public to always prioritize your personal safety over your vehicle.
