ANOTHER DOOR SMASH BREAK IN!

On August 5th I received a call at about 3pm regarding another break in and burglary which had occured again in Phase II. When I arrived on scene what I saw really upsets me because this was another forced break in with the front door laying on the floor. As I waited for the deputy to arrive I couldn't help notice the damage to the door jam in gaining entry to the home.

 

 

What is really distressing is the fact that it is now obvious that we have perpetrators watching and casing our homes to see who is around and who is not.

 

What I fail to understand is why in a community like ours I cannot make our residents understand how important it is to be an active part of our Nieghborhood Watch program to not only protect ourselves, but watching out for our neighbors. The next incident could be your home being broken into.

 

What if someone had been at home and this turned into a home invasion? Someone could have been seriously hurt or even worse. 

 

Our last Neighborhood Watch meeting had 11 residents attend out of 300+ homes. As your coordinator I cannot do Neighborhood Watch by myself. This is your community. We all need to help make this a safer place to live

 

Call Don Maidlow and volunteer to help. These types of incidents will not stop without your involvement. Call (813) 741-1328.

Neighborhood Patrols

To All Residents:

In light of the recent incidents of property crimes in both Phase I and Phase II, Neighborhood Watch would like to initiate our security patrols ahead of our original schedule and as soon as possible.

In order to do so we volunteers who are willing be a part of this program which will have flexible hours to fit your own schedule. You will have the use of a bright reflective vest and radio.

Patrols can consist of a single person or teams. This is an important step in making our community environment safer and less susceptible to incidents by those who do not care about your welfare.
