Support for victims of domestic violence

Altic Lock Service offers a 50% discount on certain services for victims of domestic violence. Rekey charges, labor charges on installing reinforcements to protect against forcible entry, and service call charges are discounted if the resident has a protection order or is referred by a member of the Marion County Prosecutor's Office of Domestic Violence Affairs. Please note that if the resident is a renter, authorization for any work may need to be provided by the property owner.

Burglary Prevention Forum

The Marion County Prosecutor's Office Burglary Enforcement Strategy Team will be presenting a short burglary prevention forum at the Marion County Alliance of Neighborhood Associations' May 21 meeting at the North United Methodist Church, 3808 N. Meridian St, at 9 am.

We understand that this will be a shortened program compared to those sponsored, in part, by Altic Lock Service last year, but we will be there and are sure you will gain knowledge that could keep you from becoming a victim of crime.
