Security Cameras
At each of our two entrances we have a security
camera which records the license
plate of every car that enters the neighborhood. If you
have an incident and need
to look at the video, please contact the Board.
Coppell Police Presentation
At our 2011 annual meeting, Officer Harr with the
Coppell Police gave us some
very import information and tips.
 |
Always lock you car. The majority of car break-ins happen to
unlocked cars. |
|
Do not leave anything in your car that someone could steal including GPS
and
other devices. Put it in your trunk if you have to.
|
|
The best way to prevent car burglaries is to park you car in your
garage. |
|
There are roving thieves who hit neighborhoods and steal alloy wheels
and other items. Your odds of getting them back are greatly
improved by
engraving a secret number that only you recognize on it. You
should also
do that to anything of value that you have in your house.
|
|
Always report an incident. If your car or house is burglarized,
ALWAYS
call the Coppell non-emergency number and report it.
972-304-3610
They use
that information to recognize where problems are and increase
patrols. If you do not report it, they are not going to help us.
|
|
Do not be afraid to
report suspicious activity. That is what they are here
for. |
|
When a thief breaks into
a house, they don't usually hang around for more than
3 to 5 minutes. Don't make it easy for them. Hide anything
important, or
better yet, keep in somewhere secure. |
Security Suggestions
|
Get to know your neighbors. Give all
of your neighbors your home, work and cell phone
number along with your e-mail address. The best security
system is having neighbors
looking out for you.
|
|
Do your part. Report ANY suspicious
activity. Call the police immediately and report it.
Don't be afraid of calling. The police are there to protect
us.
|
|
When you go out of town, let your neighbors know
and tell them to report any suspicious
activity the police immediately. Stop your paper if you get
one and stop your mail. Ask
your neighbors to pick up any stray papers in the driveway or
boxes at the door.
|
|
If you see papers piling up in someone's driveway,
be a good neighbor and pick them up for them.
|
|
If you park on the street, ALWAYS lock your car.
Don't leave anything in it for someone to steal.
|
|
Consider having "bump proof" locks installed on
your doors. Criminals can easily "bump"
common door locks and get into your house in seconds. To
learn more, watch this
video:

Put sticks in your windows (or install pin locks)
so that windows can't be forced open.
|

Get a free home security inspection
by the Coppell Police Department. Per Officer Harr,
"I do security surveys for homes, if anyone is
interested. I come out to the house and we do a walk through
and I give advise and tips for protecting your home.
Interested neighbors can contact me here at the station to set
up an appointment."
