Citizens on Patrol
Just a few minutes a week can really make a big difference in keeping Lazybrook safe. Patrolling is as easy as driving a car or riding a bike through the neighborhood with a cell phone and calling in any suspicious persons or activities. We will train you, the hours are flexible to fit any schedule, and you are reimbursed for the cost of gas. Please email security@lazybrook.org to let me know if you are interested.
August PIP Meeting
The August PIP meeting was held on August 24 and we were fortunate to have a guest speaker from Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization that gives cash rewards for tips that lead to the capture of criminals, aiding police officers in arrest and conviction of offenders.
They offer these crime prevention tips:
- Lock all doors and windows, including upstairs windows
- If you are just moving in, you should change your locks
- Ask for identification from delivery and service providers
- Be aware of your surroundings
- Get to know your neighbors
- Store valuable property in a safe or safety deposit box
- Report suspicious people and write down license plate numbers
- Stay alert when entering your home
- Report bad lighting or overgrown shrubbery to the city (311)
- Use initials on mailboxes or doorbells to avoid being an easy target
Since 1981 Crime Stoppers has been involved in the arrest of over 22,000 suspects with over $9 Million in cash rewards given out. To report a tip to Crime Stoppers, call 713-222-TIPS or visit their website at www.crime-stoppers.org.
