If it means having our neighborhood secure, I don't personally believe any amount of money is out of line or "too expensive".  The more police involvement the better.  Let's face the facts, our community is in a changing mode, one from ownership and involvement to one of rental and indifference with the ones of us with financial involvement still hanging on trying to make the best out of our investments.  That is not to say the neighbors who are renting don't care about the situation in our community, merely that they have no invested capital to motivate to succeed or fail.  While a commitment to a scheduled patrol from  law enforcement would be askew from the normal with this board of directors, we will not rule this option out at this time.  This is where the neighbors in the area where the kids hang out and cause the mischief, notify this site of the times and numbers of kids and gathering locations, so we can observe and notate the kids, addresses and neighborhoods of said kids.  Yes, the police will be involved and I will be the first to welcome the call from the parent when their child is hauled to jail for vandelism or mischief in our community. 

I can tell you that on Tuesday night there was a group of kids hanging out on the corner of Sycamore Forge and Oakforge at the three way stop.  They were acting like kids screaming and carrying on. There were a few on bikes and even a few kids that looked to be under the age of 9. They were running back and forth from behind the house on Oakforge Dr. that was just bought a few days ago (2 story property). They didn't appear to be doing anything illegal, but we were keeping a close eye just in case. This we were watching while chatting with neighbors and looking at the trees that had come down.

Thank you for asking the questions about the security cameras in the neighborhood or the patrol. I look forward to seeing what the decisions end up being.

We also have been watching these kids as well.  We did see them haging out and would stand in the street when a car would come by.  They are very loud we saw them roaming until at least 10pm.  One of them will get hit by a car one of these days with the way cars come speeding down oakforge and run right thru the stop sign.
