1. Night-time Safety "Dog" Walk Tomorrow, Sunday, May 27, 9:30 p.m. (Meet at Halcyon Commons Park, Halcyon at Prince)

 

Editor's Introductory Note:

In response to last night's armed robbery on Prince, we have planned a night-time safety "dog" walk for tomorrow evening (see below). I recognize many of you are away or have commitments over the holiday weekend, but for those who are in town, this is a chance to set a clear boundary in our neighborhood, and let the Police Department know that we want to work with them in partnership to keep our neighborhood safe.

While I don't have details, I've heard rumors since reporting last night's incident that there have been two other armed robberies in the past couple of weeks in the Telegraph/Prince and Telegraph/Woolsey vicinity. We frequently see an upswing in crime in the late spring and summer. It's important that we pull together and do what we can toward prevention. Again, please remember to call the Police Department if you notice anything or anyone suspicious. They will come by and check it out, and just having them drive through our neighborhood more frequently helps send a message. In the case of an emergency or urgent report, call 911 from a landline or  981-5911 from a cell; the police nonemergency number is 981-5900.

Hope to see some of you tomorrow tonight (remember, no dog required!)

-Nancy Carleton, HNA Co-Chair and E-Newsletter Editor

1. Night-time Safety "Dog" Walk Tomorrow, Sunday, May 27, 9:30 p.m. (Meet at Halcyon Commons Park, Halcyon at Prince)

Prince Street neighbor Pamela Dameron started HNA's night-time safety "dog" walks; while we haven't taken as many walks this year, we're ready to start up again. HNA Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Dawn Rubin and I (Nancy Carleton, HNA Co-Chair) are organizing this weekend's walk.

We'll meet tomorrow evening (Sunday) at the south end of Halcyon Commons Park (on Halcyon Court at the Prince Street end) at 9:30 p.m. Please arrive promptly if you're planning on joining us, as we want to cover as much of the neighborhood as possible in a 30- to 40-minute walk.

Again, you don't need to have a dog to participate; we only walk if we have at least three or four people signed up in advance (which we do), and there are typically at least a couple of dogs. The beat officer will be alerted ahead of time that we'll be out there, and we'll have a cell phone with us in case there's anything to report; we don't intend to get in dangerous situations, and we'll use appropriate caution. Please join us in working toward greater neighborhood safety!
