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.
