2017 Year End Security/Neighborhood Watch Report
by Phil Mowbray
2017 was a very quiet year from a security point of view. While there were a few issues at the South pool early in the year, they were considered more of a nuisance than a security issue. Nothing has been reported since March but please keep your eyes open and call 911 if you see something suspicious.
It is very important to keep the gates to the pool areas locked. Exit mechanisms have been installed so a key is not required to leave the pool areas.
It is also important to make sure your post lights are lit at night. They are the only lighting provided on the HOA streets, and they also help to deter criminal activity.
Some homes have a door in the garage that provides direct access to the house. Those homeowners are encouraged to lock that door as garage doors can sometimes be manipulated and raised. An unlocked door offers the potential for a burglary.
At its September 2017 meeting the Board voted to discontinue using Central Alarm. As noted above, there have been no security issues reported since that decision.
The annual neighborhood watch meeting was held on March 6, 2017. It was attended by 20 homeowners. The 2018 watch meeting is being organized and once the date is finalized notices will be posted by all of the mailboxes. Everyone is encouraged to attend!
Our HOA enjoys a very good relationship with the Sheriff’s Department and the Rural Metro Department. Please don’t hesitate to be in touch with either organization if you have questions or concerns.
