Communication is Key! Pam Rogers, Neighborhood Watch Coordinator I know that I am very late with the newsletter this month. My computer has been a bit under the weather, so it made me late with everything on my schedule. Never-the-less, here I am, and happy 2012! I hope you all had a safe and great holiday season. This newsletter is going to be short so that I can give you a more informative one in February. I am optimistic that together, we can accomplish even bigger and better things this year than last year! ALERTS Dark Blue Chevy S10 with a white fender, 2 males were observed in a driveway of a residence on German Church Road. The witness knew that the vehicle was out of place there and reported it. The subjects and vehicle left when they knew they were being observed. The homeowners reported a break-in, but nothing was taken. Congratulations to the witness for being in the right place at the right time. Officers searched for the vehicle and Jackson County was notified. The vehicle was located in Independence by Lafayette County detectives and the investigation into the break in is continuing.
Safety Tip of the Month The witness in the above BOLO did the right thing by reporting the incident right away. Don’t hesitate to report these incidents as soon as you observe them taking place. The quicker they are reported, the quicker we can get there. Also, never approach suspicious persons, or their vehicles. Stay a safe distance and call 911. NEVER attempt to apprehend criminals on your own. This is best left to the police. We don’t want anyone to put themselves in harms way.
This is a new paging system that we are going to be using. This is free. Please get signed up for this new system. You will continue to be paged on our old system for alerts and bolos. However, this system is exciting. We will be able to page weather alerts, road closing and public safety information to your phone, email, or by checking your Nixle home page.
