SIMPLE CRIME FIGHTING TIPS
From: Samantha Nolan <nolantutor@yahoo.com>
Attached is a copy of the Simple Crime Fighting Tips we
have been using to decrease Crimes of Opportunity in our
PSA. Through cooperation with our PSA Lt. and his
officers, and a very extensive Neighborhood Watch Program
(we now have 250 block captains), we have had five years
of continued decreases in crime. Our Year to Date reductions
through 9/25/06 are down 23%. I believe educating our
citizens about Crimes of Opportunity and ways to eliminate
them can help decrease crime across the city.
-------------
SIMPLE CRIME FIGHTING TIPS
Please take these simple steps to eliminate the opportunity
for a crime in your home or on your street.
Light Places Discourage Crime/Dark Places Encourage Crime:
Leave a light on at your front and back door all night. Set
timers on lights when you are away. Remove dead limbs
and bushes from in front of windows.
Report all street lights out as soon as you notice them.
Call the Streetlight Complaint Center at (202) 269-0855.
It is open from Monday at 7:00 am until Saturday at 5:00 pm,
24 hours a day. Leave a voice mail message after Saturday at
5:00 pm. When you call, give them the pole number, address
of the house closest to the pole, and say if the pole is wooden
or metal.
Make sure you have your house number close to the front
and back doors of your house. Dark numbers on light trim
are easiest to read. During an emergency, this could save
precious moments. Install a peep hole in your exterior doors
if you do not have glass around the door. NEVER open the
door to a stranger. Call 911 if you are suspicious of a caller.
Make sure to notify your neighbors when you are going to be
away. Set timers on both indoor and outdoor lights. Arrange
for papers, mail and flyers to be taken in, and ask neighbors to
place some trash in your super can and wheel it to the alley.
These simple steps can greatly reduce your chances of becoming
the next burglary victim.
Do not leave lawn mowers, bicycles or baby strollers in the yard
unattended.
NEVER leave your purse in a shopping cart at the market, in your
desk at work unattended, or on the back of your chair. Not only
will your money and credit cards be used, but you could loose your
personal identity. Personal identity theft is the fastest growing
crime in our area.
Check your surroundings before getting out of your car on your
way into the house, and out of the house on your way into your car.
Remove all valuables from sight in your car. Store them in
the trunk.
NEVER leave your car running without you in it. Besides
inviting a car theft, it is also illegal.
Add deadbolt locks to all of your doors, particularly those
with glass near the doorknob. Remove the key from the lock.
If you want to keep a key close to the door for emergencies,
make sure it is not reachable from the glass.
Leave your emergency numbers with a neighbor, and leave a
copy by the kitchen phone, if you have one.
If you have alarm systems in your car and home, use them.
If you have an alarm system in your home, and you have a
skylight, make sure to have the skylight wired to the alarm
system. This is a new way of entering homes without being
detected.
If you witness a crime, write down the details as soon as
possible, and keep the paper in a safe place. It could mean
the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. Call 911
and report the crime.
Get to know your neighbors. If you know who belongs on
your block, it is easier to spot someone who does not belong.
Report suspicious behavior to the police at 311.
Get involved in your community. Apathy is the partner of crime.
BURGLARIES
From: Solberg, Andrew (MPD) <Andrew.Solberg@dc.gov>
Reply-To: americanuniversitypark@yahoogroups.com
Yesterday, Wednesday, October 11, 2006, there were four
burglaries of residences in the Second District. While they were
widely spread out geographically and we do not believe they are
related, all crimes share a common theme:
In each case entry was gained through an unlocked door.
Please, keep doors to houses, apartments, and cars locked, even
if you are just walking the dog or visiting a nearby neighbor,
and even when you are inside and at home.
In one of yesterday’s burglaries the burglar actually confronted
a person inside—a very frightening thing to contemplate.

listserves, you would have received this notice From Commander

TENLEY FIREHOUSE IS OPENING/
NEEDS SOME THINGS
From: Amy McVey <amybmcvey@msn.com>
Hello,
I'll get straight to the point. The Tenley Firehouse is reopening,
probably later this week and I am soliciting as well as coordinating
donations of "stuff" from individuals and local community groups.
If your group has a few dollars to spare, I know there will be a wish
list coming soon.
The city provides basics like a desk and beds but they do not
provide any of the "luxury" items for the firemen. So, I am
charged with seeing if I can round up some gently used luxuries
such as flatware, dishes, coffee cups, bowls, potholders, pitchers etc.
You know, the extravagant stuff!
If anyone has a spare refrigerator, they need that. The city
provides only one but with 50+ firefighter's, they need 4 additional;
one for each shift.
If you have some spare kitchen items in good condition, call me
and I will pick them up or you can drop them on my front porch.
I will deliver them to the firefighters and let them know who
gave them the gift. One note, the firemen are not charity cases
so you will not be getting a tax deduction for your donation;
its just a gift!
Next time you go to Rodman's, please thank Roy Rodman for
his generosity. He has offered a $200.00 shopping spree to
pick-up some additional items.

FOUND DOG
**** From: jenifer bland <jcrabland@hotmail.com>
An acquaintance of mine recently found a dog in Archbold Glover
woods. This sounds very like a dog for which handwritten "lost"
signs were put up in the AU Park neighborhood a few months ago.
He is a black lab mix, around 10 or 12, very sweet. When he was
found he was quite emaciated and had obviously been without care
for a long time, but a vet pronounced him healthy and I'm
told he has been eating and is in good shape. Please call me at
202 364-7116, or Sara, at 202 365-0056, if you think this
might be your old friend or know to whom he might belong.

Former AU Park couple looking for a short-term rental or sublet

kathymklein@aol.com
**** From: Tracy_Hauser_Scarrow@cadc.uscourts.gov
My husband, two young kids, and I are looking for a short-term
(approx. 4 months) rental (2-3 bedrooms) to begin around the middle
of November. We're having our house in AU Park renovated and
need to move out for that period. We'd prefer to stay in AU Park but
will consider other neighborhoods.
Please let me know if you have any leads. I can be reached via email
or at 202-364-3636.
Thanks.
Tracy Scarrow
**** From: chakku46@comcast.net (Chhaya (home))
My husband and I have recently begun a major renovation
on our home in AU Park, and we are looking for alternative
housing while the contractors are working inside.
In particular, we are seeking house-sitting or very reasonably
priced sub-letting opportunities from roughly November 2006
through February 2007 (or thereabouts). We would appreciate
any leads you might have on someone going on sabbatical or
on an extended trip for a few months. Or maybe you know a
neighbor who would be willing to rent out an extra room or two
for a while? We're hoping to stay in AU Park or upper NW so
that we can more frequently monitor the work on our house.
We have no children, no pets, are non-smokers, and are both
responsible professionals.
We'd be very grateful for any leads you might be able to provide
us. Please contact Chhaya at chakku46@comcast.net .
Thanks in advance!

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PRESCRIPTION
DRUG DISCOUNT CARD
From: Floto, Mary Ann (EOM) <maryann.floto@dc.gov>
Mayor Unveils Prescription Drug Discount Card
Mayor Anthony A. Williams announced today that the District of Columbia has
launched DC Rx, a discount card program to help consumers cope with the high
price of prescription drugs. The District is making free DC Rx prescription
drug discount cards available under a program sponsored by the National
Association of Counties (NACo). The card offers average savings of 20
percent off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs.
The DC Rx card may be used by any District resident, regardless of age,
income, existing health coverage, or residency status. The program will
benefit low-income uninsured residents who earn too much to qualify for
Medicaid or the Alliance, higher-income uninsured residents, and even those
with drug coverage who have exclusions on certain drugs. The cards are
accepted at 98 percent of the District's pharmacies. A national network of
more than 57,000 participating retail pharmacies will also honor the DC Rx
prescription discount card.
English and Spanish versions of the card will be available at community
health centers, WIC Offices, and other distribution sites around the city.
In addition, Catholic Community Services, which manages the DC
Pharmaceutical Resource Center (DC PRC) hotline to counsel DC residents
about their best options for obtaining free or lower-cost drugs, will
distribute the card to residents who call (202) 481-1430.
