Thanks from the patrol officers of the WCSD assigned to Highland Park to all the citizens and block clubs who have put forth the effort to clean up the alleys. It makes it much easier to watch houses and approach alarms when there is another access point to house. Lets face it, individuals dont break in through the front door, nor do they exit through the front window. Also, a few tips to citizens and block clubs that only cost a few bucks and make all the difference in the world....Please, Please, Please, make your address numbers visible from the street. Some residents dont even have them up, and it really puts the police at a disadvantage when we have to figure out which house is which. It really cuts down on reponse time when we can look at a house and see the address. Secondly, try to keep the back yards well lit. You would be suprised how easy it is to install a flood light for the back yard and they are relatively inexpensive(feel free to call mini station and I would love to spend a couple of minutes to point out your vulnerable areas in your yard; I work afternoons) And last, but not least, can someone call the city and see what can be done about the missing street signs. This too would cut some seconds off reponse time. Especially at night when street lights have a mind of their own. |
