The Schreiber Expanded Neighborhood Patrol (SENP) annual meeting was October 14, 2021. Below is a summary of some of the key learnings from the meeting.
- SENP is looking for a new board member. Please email Lauren Law at [email protected] if you are interested to serve in this capacity. You will be doing a very good service to our neighborhood.
- In the event of an emergency, we are to call 911 first. Then call the phone number of the off-duty police patrol. If you call the off-duty DPD police SENP cell phone number and no one answers, leave a voicemail.
- One of the valuable services provided to us when we join SENP is that when we are going to be out of town, we can notify the off-duty police patrol officers, and they will keep an extra eye on our house while we are away. They’ll do a perimeter check of the windows and doors.
- Currently eight Dallas Police Department officers patrol our neighborhood at 55 to 65 hours per week. The SENP goal is 70 hours of patrolling, but officers are hard to find.
- Officers patrol 10pm to 6am – 4 days per week; 6am to 2pm – 3 days per week; and 2pm to 10pm – 5 days per week.
- 2021 (Jan.1-September): 5 Burglaries, 21 BMVs, 3 Theft, 1 Criminal Mischief, 3 Stolen Vehicles—33 Total—we’ve seen a 54% decrease in crime from 2020 to 2021, thus far.
- 2020 (Jan. 1-Sept.): 10 Burglaries, 26 BMVs, 9 Thefts, 16 Criminal Mischief, 10 Stolen Vehicles—71 Total, BMVs/Thefts Up—a 22% increase from 2019.
- 2019 (Jan. 1-Sept): 8 Burglaries, 16 BMVs, 4 Theft, 11 Criminal Mischief, 17 Stolen Vehicles—58 Total
- Survey results:
- 96.89 % of members are satisfied or completely satisfied with SENP.
- 25.91% of members made a call in the last 8 months to report a crime or suspicious activity.
- 72 members have called the patrol cell to ask for out of town patrol service.
- 96.37% plan to join SENP during the re-enrollment, which runs Nov. 1-Jan. 24.
- 98.96% would recommend or consider recommending SENP.
- If you know a member has moved, please email: [email protected] so we can pick up the yard sign.
- If you would like to be added to the Schreiber Crime Watch email, chaired by Joyce Martin, please send her an email at[email protected].
- Schreiber Crime Watch (crime analysis/reporting) and Schreiber Expanded Neighborhood Patrol (neighborhood patrol using off-duty DPD police officers funded by members) are two different entities but work together to help keep crime out of our neighborhood.
