Tioga County Sheriff Gary Howard is reminding citizens to consider crime prevention while encountering door-to-door home repair or driveway paving solicitations. The sheriff says to be wary of any door-to-door interactions, and if work needs to be done, rely on local contractors or ask friends and relatives for referrals. Residents should avoid contractors that offer discounts for finding other customers or contractors that only accept cash payments. Any solicitations such as these should be reported to the sheriff’s office at 607-687-1010.
