Safety Tips
Here are some ways you can improve your neighborhood safety
- Tell your neighbors to observe what is going on around them.
- Be alert, especially at night. Watch out for suspicious activity.
- If you see suspicious behavior, observe what is going on. Record date and time, license plates, what people are wearing, what they look like they are doing and then call 553-0123.
- Keep the sidewalks clear! The police can't notice suspicious activity if the sidewalks are blocked.
If you see an incident, or are a victim yourself, REPORT IT TO THE POLICE. (If you don't report it, it didn't happen!) Call these numbers:
- Emergency (a serious crime is happening now): 911
- Non-emergency dispatch (you want a squad car to come) 553-0123
- Call Park Station you want to tell the police what you know about crime in the neighborhood
Contact Leela@nopna.org if you want to join the NOPNA Safety Group.
