UPDC Residents:  Drop in Burglaries in West

Update from the SPPD:

The Western District has had 6 burglaries from 02/01 - 02/07/13. This is a significant drop in burglaries compared to the past few weeks.  Thank you for being diligent in calling police when you see suspicious activity in your neighborhoods – community and police in partnership does work!

Grid 7 – 1 forced entry day residence

5 Day burglaries (84%)

3 Residences (50%)

3 Garages (50%)

Please remember that locking your doors and windows at your home and garage may help prevent burglaries. Consider investing in auto light devices to provide lighting in your home when the sun sets so early, and either leave outside lights on or install easy to use dusk to dawn lighting so that you will have a lighted path when you return home and your neighbors and police can see if someone is lurking around your home.

Help your neighbors, neighborhood, and yourself by being alert to unusual behavior or activity and ALWAYS call 911 immediately so police can investigate! The Saint Paul Police need, want, and appreciate your calls and help.  Do for your neighbors, as you would want them to do for you. 

The Union Park District Council's Neighborhood Issues Committee (NIC) meets once per month to discuss issues related to Crime and Safety, Traffic Calming and Pedestrian Issues, and Neighborhood Communication and Outreach.  All NIC meetings are open to the public and the committee welcomes community participation.  The next NIC meeting will be on Tuesday, February 19th from 6:30-8pm.  For more information, please contact the Union Park office at (651)645-6887 or by email at in...@unionparkdc.org
