NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME WATCH
Crime Watch is a Dallas Police Department community-based program that's been proven to deter crime. Crime Watch is a group of neighbors working together along with the Dallas Police Department in a community-wide effort to reduce residential crime. Getting to know your neighbors allows you to know when something is suspicious or out of the ordinary. The White Rock Neighborhood Association is divided into three crime watch areas--1120, 3060, and 3061.
The head of crime watch for area 1120 is Felix Saucedo. He issues a weekly crime report which includes all three areas, and has been very successful at instigating a Volunteers in Patrol team for area 1120. If you would like to receive emails reporting offenses committed in our neighborhood (as well as other police alerts), send an email to Crime Watch 1120 Chair, Felix Saucedo at crimewatch1120@sbcglobal.net.
Michele Berube is the head of crime watch for area 6030. She has an extensive email alert list for her area--if you would like to be added to it, please contact her at micheleberube@sbcglobal.net. She also sends alerts about suspicious behavior in the neighborhood to be on the watch for.
Bruce Fowler is the head of crime watch for area 6031 He has helped to bring about the successful WRNA Neighborhood Night Out to Fight Crime at Ridgewood Belcher Recreation Center in 2007. He is in email contact with Corporal Ron Carpenter at the Northeast Substation, and receives his weekly crime watch updates. You may contact him at willowpondtx@sbcglobal.nettwillowpondtx@sbcglobal.net.
If you would like to receive a daily crime report that includes all three areas, send an email (wilth your name and email address) to dailycrimereport@wrna.org .
Community Involvement
The Dallas Police Department relies on citizens to be their eyes and ears in the community. In keeping with this idea, they sponsor and encourage neighbors being trained as police volunteers and patrolling thier own neighborhoods. Recently, ten of your neighbors were trained and began patrolling the neighborhood in hopes of providing a deterrence to criminal activity. The Volunteers in Patrol (VIP) have patrolled the 1120 area in the neighborhood for over 140 total hours to date since the program’s inception in August, 2008. If you are interested in joining the effort, the next class will be held January 12, 13, and 15 at the Northeast Substation, 7:00-9:00 pm.
Block Captains
Block Captains: For the 1120 reporting area, block captains have volunteered for the 6700 block of Inverness Lane, the 6700, 6800 and 6900 blocks of Santa Maria Lane, 6800 and 6900 block of Dalhart Lane, 6900 block of sperry Street, and the 4000 and 4100 block of Santa Barbara Drive.
