Reminders from the Constable
Suspicious persons have been seen in the neighborhood.
|
| |
If you see people of any age in places they should not be day or night immediately call the constable on 281-463-6666. When the operator asks whether it is an emergency, say "Yes."
When reporting suspicious persons try to give a description of the person from head to feet starting with hat, hair, glasses, facial hair, race, color of clothing and direction of travel. The more information available the better chance of the subject being located.
|
Keep your garage doors closed. An open garage door, whether the main entrance or side door, is an invitation to burglars shopping the neighborhood.
Keep all your car doors locked and windows rolled up if you park your car on your driveway, even for a very short time,
e.g. while unloading shopping.
REMOVE all valuables from plain view and lock valuable items in the trunk,
DO NOT leave any articles of value in your car overnight (laptops, money, wallets, purses, etc.)
Theft from unlocked cars is one of the most common crimes in this area.
Constable Programs
Our Constable offers more services than just vacation watches. There are programs for adults, teens, and children. The Constable offers classes on bully prevention, on line safety, personal safety, and even a Citizen's Police Academy.
