What a nice gathering we had. There were only two regular officers, our interim Chief, and our Police Clerk, but there were plenty of us. It was a very good balance. And of course-- of course-- there was Rosemary Wais and her sinful breakfast goodies. We all sinned, and we were all happy.
We got to meet our interim Chief, Duncan Foster "up close and personal," and he reviewed safety issues with us. Apparently, there are not too many times this advice can be given, but LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS when you're home. The level of sophistication of potential car burglars never ceases to amaze: they try the car door. If it's open, your stuff is theirs. If it's no more than locked, they shrug and move on.
We reviewed again the alert reaction of one of our neighbors, a teenager, who heard something in the house, called (her father first), and thieves in the house were apprehended.
We also talked a lot about whether we should do something to improve safety, and maybe lower speed, in the Village. We're still looking into traffic humps/bumps and possible changes in the speed limit. This is a conversation to be continued.
This was a good installment in the CrimeWatch/Coffee-With-a-Cop series. It happens a few times a year. Always feel free to come, and bring your neighbors with you.
Thanks for posting this Fred.
