Security & Safety

 

 

Thanks to all who attended our February board meeting to meet Officer Ryan Gomez, the managing officer of our Expanded Security Program. It was a good turnout and we all walked away feeling great about the new program.

 

Patrols are set to begin in March. Please make sure to say hi to our officers when you see them in the neighborhood—we’re so happy they’re here! 

 

 

 

Taking into account a number of variables, this covers about 29 hours a month, not including holidays when rates are higher. However, patrol officers are booked in four-hour shifts, so we’ll need to raise another $4,000-ish to consistently afford two shifts a week. Throughout the year, we’ll be planning events to fundraise for additional hours. 

 

 

 

We’re currently creating yard signs and signs for the neighborhood triangles. Signs have proven to be one of the best deterrents to crime and every ESP participant will receive one to display in their yard year round. 

 

 

 

 

 

ESP participants can request a courtesy security visit for their home when they’re away. So whether you’re out of town or your home is under construction or for sale, you’ll have get an extra set of eyes to ensure everything is secure. This may include:

 

 

To request Home Watch Services, simply download the Home Watch Request Form and submit the completed form at least 5 days before the start date. This is a service only for participants of the ESP who are current in their dues.
