Balboa Block Watch
September 2013
Recap of Saturdays Meetings:
As always, we discussed why we have a block watch program, how it impacts our community, and how over the past year, we have seen a significant decrease in crimes here in Balboa Way, but surrounding areas have seen an increase...
(soooo.....either they know we are aware and not willing to attempt theft in our area, or we have been reallllllyyyy lucky...) I think its because we have a great community that is aware and doing their part! Keep it going!!!
A few reminders...
Always close your garage door!! Lt. Kelly made it clear that if drives thru our neighborhood and see's your garage door open, he will enter and join you for dinner... So please make sure you are closing it...(OR...be ready for an extra guest)
Timers on lights...especially with Holidays coming up...
check into sensor lighting, and replace any bulbs that may be burnt out...
Cars parked in the drive.. Chandler PD has seen a huge increase in broken windows..please make sure not to leave any personal belongings in the car and always park in a well lit area.
Last, but certainly not least...if you see anything suspicious...call the non-emergency number and report it! 480-782-4130
