Keep Those Volunteers Coming!
With the latest
heightened burglaries in our community…..it is extremely
important that our neighborhood Watch Program not only gets off
the ground again and becomes a success. According to the Santa
Clarita Sheriff’s Department, a good Neighborhood Watch requires
75% participation from residents. With 739 homes and 33 streets
in Hasley Hills, we need many more volunteers. We need
volunteers to be block captains and everyone needs to be aware
of and report suspicious behavior. Let’s all meet this
challenge with a positive attitude and help make sure our
families live in the safest neighborhood possible.

Crime Watch:
Keeping Your Home Safe
Burglaries, one
common problem, happen most often when residents are not home.
The Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Department offers this tips:
·
Get to know your neighbors. They will know what’s normal at your
house and are most likely to spot
suspicious activity.
·
Let your neighbors know when you are away on vacation so they
can keep an eye on your house.
·
Lock all doors and windows
·
Use timers to turn on lights periodically.
·
Stop your mail and newspapers, or ask a neighbor to collect them
for you so they don’t pile up outside.
·
If you are going away on vacation, notify the Sheriff’s office
and a volunteer deputy aid will drive by your
home regularly to make sure it looks OK.
·
If you are home alone, don’t answer the door to a stranger if
you feel uncomfortable. Or answer with a
phone to your ear so the person thinks you are in contact
with someone and not totally alone.
