Lawn equipment?!  Does that include the scissors that I use to cut the
2x2 plot of grass I have?  :-)
 
But seriously, this is a good reminder to check your outdoor lighting.
Turning your porch light on at night can help keep the burglars away.
Our end of the 3000 block of Guilford tends to be well lit with porch
lights, but there are sections of our and other blocks that are dark.
Be neighborly:  turn on your lights!
 
Cheers,
Sarah

Attention
Northern District Residents
 
          
 
We are fast approaching the time of year where yard and lawn maintenance
take up a good portion of our time. While you are beautifying your home
& yard, please be mindful of the following:
 
*        Keep your garages and sheds locked.
*        Mark your lawn equipment i.e.: mowers, weed eaters, leaf
blowers etc. with your drivers license, state identification number or
home address.
*        Do not leave your equipment unattended.
*        Thieves can quickly enter your home through open windows and
doors while you are gardening in your yard.
*        Record the brand, model and serial number of all of your lawn
equipment and bicycles.
*        Keep your shrubbery trimmed away from windows and doors to
maintain clear visibility.
*        Ensure that your outdoor lighting is adequate and in good
working order.
*        If you see anything suspicious do not hesitate to call the
police 311/911.
 
 
The Northern District Community Relations Office can provide a home
security survey. This survey will provide you with some tips to better
secure your home and garage. To schedule a survey call Officer Jon
Walter or Officer Doug Gibson at 410-367-8491.
