The holiday season is in full swing and we know many of you will be heading out of town. With that in mind, we want to encourage everyone to take advantage of the Vacation Watch Program. Leave your residence knowing that our Deputies will be looking out for you!

An important message from Constable Rosen:

Please report all criminal incidents to the constable, no matter how trivial! The Constable utilizes all reports to better tailor their services for our neighborhood and the surrounding community. By all means share incidents with your neighbors and on Nextdoor, but please be sure and report everything to the Constable as well.

General Update: HPD reported crimes for November were incredibly low with only 2 incidents (compared to 15 last November) – one Theft from Vehicle and one Robbery in the 1800 block of Fairview. This is a huge success for our Patrol Program! Click on the map for more detailed information.

Constable Activity Report – November:

Below is a run down of last month’s Activity Report from the Constable Patrol. Each time the deputy on patrol is called out or observes some activity of interest, he/she documents the call and the report is compiled at the end of the month. It’s a nice way to see what our deputies are up to!

July 2017 Newsletter

We hope everyone had a happy and safe FOURTH
OF JULY! We have few updates concerning the Mandell Winlow Security Foundation & the Constable Patrol Program as well as our Crime Map and Activity Report for the month of June.

We’re excited to show off some new stats demonstrating the success of the Constable Patrol Program! We gathered information from HPD, Crime Reports, and the Constable’s office so you can see how effective the Program has been since it’s inception just a couple of years ago. Significant contributions have been made to the overall safety and security in our community. Burglaries, car break-ins and all types of crime were on the rise before the program was implemented, but now we’re seeing these same crime rates go down!

General Update: We had quite a spike in criminal activity compared to last month. Unfortunately this is expected in the summer months due to warmer weather. Crooks can move around more comfortably after the cold season recedes and some youthful lawbreakers have more time on their hands when school is on a break. There were a total of 10 reported crimes, including 2 home break-ins, 2 thefts of vehicles and one assault with a weapon. We should all be extra diligent in securing our homes, property, and vehicles.
