Dear Members,  

Total members through 12/22/19 is 380, up from 365 last week. 

Area 1-153; Area 2-68; Area 3-159 

We had hoped to launch patrols before the holidays, but we still haven’t received approval from the Dallas Police Department on the letter of agreement for the police car rental. Apparently, it is in the city attorney’s office waiting to be reviewed. We will update you as soon as we can about when patrols will start.

If you will be out of town over the holidays, please take the following proactive steps:

• Have someone turn on your front porch lights at night
• Leave some lights on in the house and put on a timer, if possible
• Lock all gates, front, side, and back
• Post alarm company signs front and back
• Remove items from cars you leave at your home and lock them
• Ask a neighbor or friend to pick up mail, papers & flyers on your door

Happy Holidays and here’s hoping 2020 will be a safe and happy one for you and our neighborhood!

The SENP Board

It’s hard to believe it’s Dec. 1 and one month since we launched the SENP membership enrollment campaign. Every week we have had new members sign on in all areas:

139 by end of week 1

219 by end of week 2

273 by end of week 3

301 by end of week 4

Please encourage your neighbors to join and the SENP Board discourages anyone from faulting any person or any area if they choose not to join. We would like this effort to bring our community closer together and hope that all will see the benefit and join if they are able to.

We sent a survey out to 273 members as of 11.24.19. So far 95.7% of new members who returned the survey said they would like to start the patrols as soon as possible.

Before we can launch we have to sign the car contract with the Dallas Police Department and we’re hoping that process will go quickly and smoothly. It’s a busy time of year and we’ll do our level best to get the patrols in place as soon as possible.

We will keep enrollment open a bit longer but it won’t be open indefinitely. If you plan join, we’d suggest join NOW! The date we start patrols will be the date your payment will be counted as effective for your membership. If anyone joins after this date, the enrollment effective date will be the same as our original effective date and they annual fee won’t be prorated. Sign up now to get the full benefit.
