Crime crept up from 2022 to 2023 up but since program inception in 2020 crime is down 63%+
The crime rate in our area has increased by 4% since last year (January to September YoY). Our area went from 25 crimes in 2022 to 26 crimes this year. However, since the program began in 2020, we’ve seen a 63.38% decrease in crime in the five categories we track: burglary of residence, burglary of motor vehicle, theft, criminal mischief, stolen vehicle.
SENP Annual Membership Meeting
We had about 35 people attend our SENP Annual Meeting on Thursday, Oct. 26.
Lauren Law/president (2nd from right) & Jim Nugent/treasurer (far left) shared a summary of SENP 2023 membership numbers, patrol shift hours, crime stats, patrol activity, member survey results, crime prevention tips and financials.
Beth Wing (4th from right), principal of W.T. White shared a summary of her W.T.W Principal report which included information about trash, traffic, attendance, turf field & track updates. We want to hear what’s happening with W.T. White because we all want to be good neighbors and part of that is getting to know each other and having open communication.
She’s invited the community to attend their Lights at White front porch event to celebrate the season on Dec. 5 at 5:30 p.m. They will feature their choir, jazz band and dance performances, plus goodies from the Student Council.
