It is the concerned, responsible residents who will help our neighborhood become a better place for families to live.

Some people fail to call simply because they are not aware of what seemingly innocent activities might be suspicious. Others may notice suspicious activity and be hesitant to call for fear of being a nosy neighbor. Many often take it for granted that someone else has already phoned.

Kendall Watch depends on you to call and report all suspicious activity. In the very near future, we will post the phone numbers where you can call and report questionable activities. In the meantime, always call 911 for any emergencies.

THESE ARE SUSPICIOUS EVENTS:

1. Any stranger running through the neighborhood -- they could be fleeing a crime and/or the police.
2. A stranger entering your neighbor's house when it is unoccupied.
3. Anyone removing accessories, license plates, or gas from a vehicle.
4. The sound of breaking glass or loud explosive noise.
5. People loitering around the parks, secluded areas, or in the neighborhood.
6. Vehicles being loaded with valuables and parked in front of an unattended residence. EVEN IF THE VEHICLE LOOKS LEGITIMATE.
7. Business transactions being conducted from a vehicle.
8. People being forced into a vehicle.
9. An abandoned vehicle parked on your street. This may be a stolen car.
10. Open windows or doors, especially broken windows.
11. People making a quick change of vehicles.
12. Unfamiliar people walking through the neighborhood looking into back yards, cars, etc.
13. Anyone taking a shortcut through a backyard. They may have just broken into your neighbor's home.
14. Any vehicles moving slowly and without lights, or following a course that appears repetitive in any location.
15. Parked, occupied vehicles containing one or more persons -- at any time they could be lookouts for an ongoing burglary; at any time they could also be scouting the neighborhood to learn residents' habits for future burglaries.

LEARN TO LOOK!
