THE LOOKOUT - SEPTEMBER 2019
FROM THE SHERIFF’S DESK
I am sure that you have heard some pretty funny jokes about how “hot” it has been. You know the ones. Now it’s time to welcome Fall. The Fall season came mean a time of relaxing for some. Schools will be having Fall Break and we will celebrate some holidays. Criminals, however, do not relax or take a break. That is why it is always important to keep crime prevention on your priority list.
If your time of relaxing means that you will be spending time away from home; let me encourage you to arrange for a security check by our Patrol Division. There is a link on our website’s “Resources” section. Look for “Vacation Form”. We want your property to be watched over while you are enjoying your relaxation.
Neighbors helping neighbors remains at the forefront of what Neighborhood Watch is all about. We encourage neighbors to watch and be looking for any suspicious activity. If you see someone or something that looks “out of place”, please call and report it. For non-emergency; 731-423-6000. For crimes-in-progress or other emergencies; call 9-1-1. It takes getting involved to stop crime!!
2019 National Night Out will be celebrated on October 1, 2019. This is a great way to form additional friendships and meet new neighbors. It is also a great opportunity to spur community pride. You can register your group’s event at www.natw.org and you will receive a helpful kit for your group. They also have great items to enhance your event. Maybe a community clean-up day or home fix-up project in advance of NNO could generate added interest in your Neighborhood Watch group. We would certainly enjoy being a part of those types of events. Please contact Lieutenant Castleman at 731-423-2016 with the details of your group’s event. We want to celebrate with you!
Please continue to remember the service men/women at home and around the world.
