Security Alert

Hello everyone,

I receive daily bulletins from the 4th Precinct crime analysts which contain information on various crimes that have been reported each day throughout the 4th precinct. The bulletin I received today contains eight reports of residential burglaries/attempted burglaries – and this is for just one daily report. This grabbed my attention and I wanted to make sure that you and your friends, neighbors and families are taking extra steps to protect your homes, property, and yourselves. The burglaries mentioned occurred in the following neighborhoods and I have included streets, dates and times, and basic MO’s:

Please remain vigilant about home security, and remind those around you to do the same. And please remember to look out for one another! Call the Police Non-emergency number (385-5000) immediately to report any suspicious individuals or activity you might see. I have attached a copy of Home Security self-assessment form which you can use to find out what you need to do to improve the security of your home. If you would like another copy of the Home Security booklet. please let me know. If you do not have a Neighborhood Watch program in your area, now is a great time to start one up. Please let me know if you are interested in Neighborhood Watch, and I will send you materials and get you started in the process.

Stay safe & have a great weekend,
