NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY OVERVIEW:

In response to resident complaints regarding fireworks on holidays we added patrol. We hired Homeland for extra patrols on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve at a rate of $50 an hour. I saw them in action approach a neighbor, I did not call for dispatch.

New Year’s Eve was ineffective over all.

Christmas Eve, not many fireworks, most outside the neighborhood.

We have a slender white male walking the neighborhood and pilfering cars. We don’t have any other persons identified in the past 45 days.

We do not have any crimes against persons or property for this period.

No police reports, no reports to the board via email or otherwise.

We received almost all patrols 5-10 pm and later the month of December.

December 29, 2022 3:00 pm Security Report

[REDACTED] security officer had first noticed the lady with packages walking on Bolivia and called HPD through operations before the call came from the resident to Homeland.

The subject was taken into custody on the North side of Tidwell at the dead-end street, HPD mental illness.

Officer [REDACTED] came to my home and [REDACTED] debriefed him. He reminded me he cannot profile people on the street. This could be a resident or guest of a resident. He said he approached the lady and she said her cousin lived on the corner house, the single story. He cannot require her to present ID. She went to the house, a b/m answered and they carried on a conversation like he and I were in my foyer. The man was not in distress, and looked like he knew her. He waved her towards the north.

[REDACTED] continued to observe her. She went to the burned house. And then across Tidwell. He said he observed HPD arrive, she was in distress yelling. He showed me on google maps her route. She was approached by HPD at the dead-end street near of Tidwell adjacent to the church, north of Bolivia. [REDACTED] has always been more proactive than other guards. He said he is doing his best; he was genuine and concerned that we were not happy. I explained I am very satisfied with his help, and I understand the restrictions and contractual regulations.

HPD did file an incident report. Not any evidence that mail was stolen according to Security officer and resident at the end. No one offered up security of the mail theft.

January 4, 2023 4-5:00 am 5022 and 5011 Fallen Oaks

Resident [REDACTED] contacted me to tell me about a white Avalanche Truck sitting on his curb across from my house. It had been there more than 30 minutes, and appeared to have two people inside. I called Homeland and we both called HPD. No formal report made, vehicle and driver identified by HPD.

An Officer responded quickly. [REDACTED] were able to see the driver from inside our house, white male, 19-24 black beanie & it seemed too hot for a beanie. We watched as the Avalanche left westbound on Fallen Oaks very slowly. We never saw the passenger that [REDACTED] saw.

HPD told [REDACTED] the young man had a TDL and the vehicle registration matched an address in COV on Spring Forest. The male told him that his truck overheated and he was waiting for it to cool off. That did not match [REDACTED] comments that the truck was running

We suspect that it was a team canvassing for theft. The vehicle was pointed at the house under construction. [REDACTED] have not followed up with that homeowner, [REDACTED] do not have contact. [REDACTED] does. Considered verifying no theft.

He first noticed the truck when his dog started retching and he had to go outside. Otherwise, he would not have noticed. Plates not visible and neither of us wanted to go out and get plates. I called [REDACTED] lives across Bolivia and walks his dog around 4:30 am, I asked him to get the plates as he came by. [REDACTED] confirmed that the white Avalanche turned and went towards Spring Forest.

I later heard from [REDACTED] that he noticed the brake lights on at 4:30 am and wondered why they were on so long.
