crime watch

I think that the crime watch is a good idea. Even if it costs us a little money, I feel that the benifits from it would outweigh the potential costs of not having it. Our neighborhood would be more attractive for potential buyers because of having a safety factor, and it could deter our homes as targets of crime. I would like to know how much paying for security would raise our assessments. With the shed breakins, it basically came down to the fact that if you had a shed it was going to happen to you. And we weren't able to prevent it. I think that this is the perfect time to take steps to protect our neighborhood the best that we can, before something else happens.

It seems as though the security here needs to be a priority. When the officer came to my home for our shed breakin, he told us that our neighborhood is getting bad- fast. And basically recommended us to move. However, that isn't an option for us. So, we put in a security system (which he recommended). If you look at the IPD website there was another break in this week, only this time not a shed. It was a home during the day and by forcible entry. How much can we put up with and allow, before we take actions as a neighborhood?

Very Hot Topic

I will have to check into the IPD online report thing, I didn't know one existed but will definately check it out. The board meets on Tuesday the 10th and I am sure this will be the number one topic of discussion and we will post some sort of communication following the meeting concerning security in our neighborhood at that time. I am quite a bit dissapointed in the police officer telling you to move and that our neighborhood is taking a fast dive, you didn't happen to get their name or badge number did you?

This is the kind of response we need, let's not screw around with this, let's do something about it. Tell your neighbors as you introduce yourselves. As a cohesive group we can accomplish more than one could imagine, and with the reinforcement of security we will make a truley noticable presence.
