NEIGHBORHOOD PATROL NEWS:

Exciting News

Everyone will finally know they're in Rosedale come November!  Two new signs will be installed in the Laburnum medians very soon. 

Landscaping, with low maintenance periennials will follow come spring, on the condition we have volunteers maintain it. 

 Be aware of anyone in the neighborhood that does not appear to belong there: odd behavior, the person's clothing, ball caps, insignia, facial hair, eye-wear -- look at the hands, are they carrying anything? 

Watch for out of place vehicles & their color, stickers on bumpers or windows, license tags.

  Anything that will help Richmond Police get the bad guys is appreciated.  Be especially mindful of homes that are for sale or rent. 

Call 911 if you see ANYTHING suspicious! Once it's reported to the police, then contact Liz Turner for an alert message to go out on our neighborhood e-tree.

In April, 2007, 22 volunteers were trained for both auto and walking patrol.  As of September, we generally seem to have patrols by pedestrians with little to no particpation in vehicular patrol.  The vehicular portion of Rosedale's Neighborhood Patrol is therefore dissolved.

 The Walking Patrol consists of dog walkers, joggers, folks who walk for leisure, parents pushing strollers, etc.  This team is unscheduled, simply doing what they do naturally, with a vigilant awareness to their surroundings.  Please carry a cell phone or pad of paper & something to write with, if possible, in case you need to make a report to the police.

While everyone is welcome to be on the Neighborhood Patrol Walking Team, for safety reasons no one should take this on without first taking the training offered by the Richmond Police Department.
