Yorktown Colony Expands Neighborhood Safety Efforts with Upgraded Security Cameras and New Sheriff Contact Signs
Keeping a neighborhood safe is a team effort, and Yorktown Colony is taking additional steps to make it easier for residents to know what to do when they spot something concerning.
The community has recently upgraded several of its neighborhood security cameras and installed new signs displaying the Harris County Sheriff's Office non-emergency phone number. The updates are designed to answer one of the most common questions residents ask: Who should I call?
Located throughout the neighborhood, the new signs prominently feature the Harris County Sheriff's Office non-emergency number, 713-221-6000, alongside the familiar message, "See Something, Say Something." The goal is to encourage residents to report suspicious activity or other non-emergency concerns quickly, helping law enforcement respond when needed while strengthening neighborhood awareness.

While security cameras can serve as an important tool in documenting activity around the neighborhood, community leaders recognize that cameras work best when paired with engaged residents.
By placing the sheriff's contact information directly on neighborhood signs, Yorktown Colony hopes to remove any uncertainty about who to contact when something doesn't seem right. Whether it's suspicious activity, unusual behavior, or another non-emergency public safety concern, having the number readily available allows residents to take action without having to search for it.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office encourages residents in unincorporated Harris County to use the non-emergency line for incidents that do not require an immediate emergency response. Emergencies or crimes in progress should always be reported by calling 911.
A Shared Commitment to Neighborhood Safety
Neighborhood safety is most effective when residents, community leaders, and law enforcement work together. The upgraded camera system and new signage reflect Yorktown Colony's ongoing commitment to protecting the community while encouraging neighbors to stay aware of their surroundings.
Simple actions—reporting suspicious activity, looking out for neighbors, and communicating concerns promptly—can make a meaningful difference in helping law enforcement address issues before they become larger problems.
What Residents Should Know
Yorktown Colony residents are encouraged to save the Harris County Sheriff's Office non-emergency number in their phones:
- Harris County Sheriff's Office Non-Emergency: 713-221-6000
If you see suspicious activity or have a non-emergency public safety concern, don't assume someone else has already called. Reporting what you observe helps deputies determine whether additional attention is needed and supports ongoing efforts to keep Yorktown Colony a safe place to live.
