The booklet aims to raise awareness on types of crime including:
- Suspicious activities

“Our experience as police officers tells us that the more you know and are aware of certain types of crime, the less likely you will become a victim.”, remarked Inspector Zettel referring to the OACP crime prevention booklet.
