Crime Watch

From the Crime Watch Coordinator:


HEY FOLKS, ATTENTION!! After 25 years of serving as a patrol and the last 15-16 as the coordinator, Bob McClure is stepping down as the coordinator at year’s end!

And on that note, let’s welcome our very own NEW CRIMEWATCH COORDINATOR: Carol Levy!

Hello neighbors!  My name is Carol Levy and I moved to Birch Lane in 1980.  I have participated as a Crime Watch Patroller since 2003.  I had a stint as a Block Captain for a few years and have put out flags for the 4th of July.  I enjoy various of the activities the RNA sponsors.  My thanks to Bob McClure for handling this position so well for 25 years, and mentoring me as I learn the tasks.

The Richland Park/Oaks Crime Watch needs more volunteers to help patrol our neighborhood.  In order to join the Crime Watch Patrol, you will need to fill out an application form.  A link to the application and additional information can be found on the City Website, www.cor.net.  Each shift usually consists of 1 ½ hours of patrol time every other week.  Crime Watch Patrols are effective because our cars, with their reflective signs, provide visibility and the criminals do not want to get caught.  You must be a member of the Richland Neighborhood Association, go through a background check conducted by the Richardson Police Dept., and complete the 4-hour course. Please consider joining and learn what’s going on.  Help us make this a safer place to live and enjoy for everyone.  If you want more information, please contact me.

Remember to CLOSE and LOCK ALL DOORS, WINDOWS, and GATES.  Take all valuables from your cars: laptops, purses, and keys. LOCK YOUR CAR.  Share a smile with a neighbor.  Be a WATCHFUL NEIGHBOR and thank the Patrol member that calls to remind you that your garage door is open. We are here for you.

Please email CrimeWatchCoord.for.RNA@gmail.com to contact her if needed . Meanwhile, for Bob, we thank him for all his years of top notch service!
