Call for Neighbors in SE Seminole Heights

I received this email.

Attention SESH Residents
Neighborhood watch needs your help!
Our neighborhood is experiencing a rash of vandalism, theft and harassment.
The Vehicle Patrol would like to ask each of you to pay particular attention to the
happenings in your hood when you are out of your house.
We need all your eyes and ears.
We encourage you to participate and keep our neighborhood and your neighbors safe.

Please Pay attention to ANYTHING which seems out of the ordinary.
#1
Keep a continuous look out in the areas where you are most familiar. This would be your house, your street and the streets you generally drive.
#2
Pay particular attention to:
Chelsea between 11th & 12th
New Orleans between 12th & 13th
Cayuga between 12th & 13th
These areas have been plagued with a variety of vandalism and harassment and theft!
#3
Phone non emergency with each and every thing you see that you believe is not as it should be!
Ask for EVENT NUMBER, and if possible ask to "see the officer".
Do not hesitate to phone!!!
#4
If what you see is a crime in the process, please call 911!
Stay out of harms way and be detailed in what you see.
#5
Watch for signs that something is amiss with an individual property. Note less changes or unusual household behavior. If you see things that you do not think are necessarily criminal but bother you, email this address and we will put all your responses together and forward to TPD.

Remember, this neighborhood is YOUR neighborhood and you, like all of us, have a responsibility to watch out for and protect your self and your neighbor.


Some comments about above. It is hard to remember a description afterwards so I practice describing a person even before I decide the behavior is suspicious.
