NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH 382 NEWSLETTER

FEBRUARY 2012 EDITION

Thank You from Neighborhood Watch 382

Our neighborhood continues to improve with each day.  Our accomplishments are through the communication  of our concerned residents and business owners with each other and the Lansing Police Department.  The security and safety of our residential life begins with our own actions.  No police department can effectively protect life and property without the support and active cooperation of the citizens served.  We thank everyone in the Baker neighborhood for their continued support of each other, Neighborhood Watch and the Lansing Police Department.

 

Message from our Community Police Officer, Brian Whitsitt

Tips for safe winter driving:

Winterize your vehicle (check battery and tire pressure, inspect wipers and wiper fluid)

Drive more slowly and Brake before your turn a corner

If you go into skid, turn you wheels into the skid

Pack an Emergency Road Kit (emergency flares, water, blankets, cell phone)

 

Upcoming Neighborhood Events sponsored by Neighborhood Watch and the Lansing Police Department:

“Cruzin’ Cruiser”

Look for the “Cruzin’ LPD cruiser   Officer Brian Whitsitt and Betty Draher will be in the ‘Cruzin’ LPD cruiser handing out special greetings.  Look for us on holidays or maybe a “just because you’re special” day.   If you see us, stop us and say hi to receive your “special greeting”

 

Litter clean up             

When weather permits we will put together a team of residents to work with the railroad company to help pick up litter along the railroad tracks between the river to the north and Mt. Hope to the south.

Neighborhood Watch

A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH is an organized effort by concerned residents to look out for each other’s safety, and to help law enforcement officers protect people and their homes against criminals. It shows people how to cooperate with each other and with a common cause - safe homes and neighborhoods.
Working together, neighbors learn how to safeguard each other’s homes and reduce the risk of crime. They become more alert to unusual or suspicious circumstances, individuals, or vehicles. They learn that it is better to call the police when they see something suspicious, even if their suspicion proves unfounded, rather than to keep quiet and risk letting a neighbor be victimized by criminals.
A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ISN’T JUST RESIDENTIAL
The corner store where you shop for milk and bread should also be a part of NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, even if the store owner and employees live in another part of town you as your neighbors do. After all, an area of town where crime finds success is an area where business people will not do business.
Businesses in your area are part of the neighborhood too, and consideration of their vulnerability to crime should be a neighborhood concern.
Somebody getting away with the burglary of the liquor store down the street doesn’t mean the store lost money, it means crime has come to your neighborhood.
By working with local businesses, you can make your neighborhood a safer place to live and work.
