Northwood Harbor Neighborhood Association

The Importance of Calling Things Into The Police

Why it's important to make a call...

We as neighbors understand the importance of reporting any crime incidents or suspicious behavior in the neighborhood, even if it's too late for the police to do anything about it.

Calling incidents into the Police Department allows them to utilize these reports to identify what is the best way to allocate the departments resources. If there is nothing on PAPER it is assumed there is NO CRIME in an area.
Creating a paper trail that documents what's going on in the neighborhood makes it possible for the police to make a case to the city, the police commission and other entities that do have the power to provide more funding and more personnel to the streets, as to what resources are needed to make our streets safe.

If no one calls in an incident, no matter how big or small a neighbor may think it is, it's like it never happened.
