May 2011 Meeting Recap and Crime Watch Report
Last night’s LGNA meeting lasted a little longer than usual. Anytime Crime is the topic, the questions and concerns can go on for a while.
The meeting began with our “annual meeting”, a formality of our by-laws where we elect members to the board. Three minutes later, we turned the floor over to Lt. Albert Martinez of the Dallas Police. Lt. Martinez provided a pile of crime prevention literature and spoke about some of the things that make our neighborhood a target, such as dimly lit streets and excessive street parking.
Following Lt. Martinez, LGNA Crime Watch coordinator Darren Dattalo presented a report with a summary of crime reports for the last 6 years. You can download a pdf of the report here:
May 2011 LGNA Meeting
Mark your calendar for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17. The event is LGNA’s annual meeting which will be held in the new Glory Be Hall at Greenland Hills United Methodist Church, 5835 Penrose. The new Subway 
location at Mockingbird and Greenville will bring goodies and donate some of their popular sandwiches for us to enjoy while we meet.
Our main topic for the evening will be crime prevention. Our ENP officer will be there to talk about ways to make your home less attractive to criminals and harder to get into. In addition, Crime Watch coordinator Darren Dattalo will go over some of the trends in crime in our neighborhood. This is a great opportunity to learn some very simple ways to reduce the chance that you will be the next victim. As well as providing a forum for valuable crime-prevention and crime-watch information, the annual meeting also includes election of four posts on the LGNA board of directors. There are four candidates up for reelection to the board: Darren Dattalo, Philip Kingston, Alan Shonborn and John Dailey.
