WESTCREEK CRIME WATCH COMMITTEE
-
Sgt. Hardcastle attended and complimented Westcreek and Copperfield as a whole for being a low crime area. He stated that there are less than 10 crimes a month that take place within Copperfield. He was complimentary of the residents of Copperfield who keep a watchful eye out at all times and do not hesitate to call the Sheriff’s Department to report suspicious activity.
-
Sgt. also attributed the low crime rate to the deputies who are designated for this area keeping the rate low; it helps to have deputies on site for quick response.
-
He also said one of the deputies first duties when he took over was to report any street light outages to Centerpoint. He encouraged us to spread the word to our neighbors and to the block captains to keep our porch and garage lights on at night. Lights on in back yard areas near the green belt would help tremendously. Any street light outage should be reported to Centerpoint immediately. Lighting up areas helps to prevent crime.
-
Sgt. also discussed a porch pirate surveillance endeavor, but unfortunately no criminal took the bait.
-
An attendee addressed the speeding issue in the neighborhood and Sgt. agreed Queenston, Hwy 6 and 529 are out of control but unfortunately, there are not enough deputies to cover and address this issue. He can put in a request, but if neighbors call the Sheriff’s Department and complain, the issue most likely would be addressed sooner. Sgt. even said vehicles were passing him on his way over. He could not believe the attitude of driver’s who knowingly speed past a patrol car.
-
Another community member asked how much a speed monitoring device like the one owned by Southcreek would cost. The Board said it was expensive but could be looked into.
