Neighborhood Crime Watch
President January 30th, 2007
With the recent incident here at Carleton Square (Police shooting near Turnagin Elementary), some of our members would again like to have our neighborhood setup as a Neighborhood Crime Watch Zone as we also had a break in to one of the Phase II homes along the park.
From what we can gather, it seems to be a pretty simple process: 50% participation and a meeting/presentation by the Neighborhood Watch Staff.
Simply, if we can generate enough interest, we think it would be a good thing for us to do, considering our excitement lately.
In the 14 years she has lived here, one of our members has helped the police directly catch 2 criminals, just by walking and being observant. This person, as well as others, have helped people in our association by ringing their doorbell and telling them their garage door was open, and so forth.
It’s those simple things that can make a difference in keeping our association the pleasant place we all know it to be.
