We’re on a roll, four months in a row of below average crime reports! We’re down in most categories, but car break-ins continue to persist. The sad thing is that most of the car break-ins could be prevented. Each month when I get the crime stats, our ENP officer details each one listing just how many incidents involved cars (and sometimes homes) that were left unlocked or open with valuables in plain sight.

December crime stats are in and we mostly had another good month. We are down on total incidents and residentials thefts.

After the big spike in home burglaries in July, we bumped up our ENP hours to 15 per week instead of the usual 10 hours. As a result, we were down in every category, but especially lower on residential thefts and burglaries. Unfortunately, we do not have enough members in the ENP program to maintain the higher level of patrols year round, so we have moved back to 10 hours a week. (Yes, that’s a plug for more members!)
