January 2016
Often times crimes are solved or avoided
because someone reported something to the
police that didn’t seem just right. When you
call and report suspicious behavior to the
police, it’ brings police into our
neighborhood. Working together is the only
way to continue to have a safer
neighborhood. You are not “bothering” or
“bogging” down the 911 system, you are
helping be the eyes and ears of our city
officials that can’t be everywhere all the time.
By having the report of suspicious activity, the
police can approach a situation knowing that
neighbors are concerned. Staying involved
helps keep the entire neighborhood safer.
Things to watch for include the following:
• Vehicles cruising Often
• High traffic at one home
• Strange Odors
• Open or Broken Windows
• Loitering Persons
Do your part and report any suspicious
activity to 911. You may help deter a crime
that is about to happen.
Happy New Year Neighbors! As we begin this new year, we
are excited to continue the positive progress we have
began over the past year for the Buckner Terrace
Neighborhood. 2016 Brings some exciting opportunities
for the neighborhood. We are currently working on new
sign toppers to identify and unify the neighborhood along
with additional crime watch signage indicating that we
have an active Volunteers in Patrol program.
We
encourage you to get involved with the VIP program if you
can. You can volunteer only a hour a month once you have
completed the one time training course. You will also
notice we have translated the newsletter to Spanish to
highlight neighborhood information with the hope of
brining our Spanish speaking neighborhood members to be
more involved.
The homeowners association is here for all homeowners
and we welcome your ideas and thoughts as we forge
through this new year and improve our neighborhood. If
you have not yet joined the homeowners association, it’s
only $24/year/household.
These funds bring more
projects/progress back to the neighborhood. Again, Thank
you for letting us serve you as your elected Co-Chair and
Chair.

A veces los crímenes están resueltos o evitados
porque alguien informó que la policía algo parece
sospechoso. Cuando llame a informar conducta
sospechosa a la policía, que ellos se responden en
nuestro vecindario. Trabajar juntos es la única
forma de seguir teniendo un barrio seguro para
nuestros residentes. No se está "molestando" en
el sistema 911, le ayuda a ser los ojos y las orejas
de nuestros funcionarios de la ciudad que no
puede estar en todas partes todo el tiempo. En el
informe de actividad sospechosa, la policía puede
acercarse a una situación sabiendo que los
vecinos están preocupados. Ayuda a mantener
todo el barrio más seguro cuando estamos
involucrados. Las cosas que se deben observar se
puede incluir los siguientes:
• Automóviles pasando frecuentamente
• Mucho tráfico al mismo hogar
• olores extraños
• Ventanas abiertas o rotas
• Personas merodeando
Haz tu parte y reportar cualquier actividad
sospechosa a 911. Usted puede ayudar a impedir
un delito que está a punto de suceder

Feliz año nuevo vecinos!
Al comenzar este
nuevo año, estamos encantados de continuar los progresos
positivos que hemos comenzado durante el año pasado para el
barrio de Buckner Terrace. 2016 trae oportunidades
emocionantes para el barrio. Actualmente estamos trabajando
en nuevos “sign-toppers” para identificar y unificar el barrio
junto. También, aumentaremos señalización indicando que
tenemos un voluntarios activos en el programa de patrulla o VIP.
Les animamos a participar con el programa VIP si se pueden
ustedes. Pueden ofrecerse como voluntarios sólo una hora al
mes una vez que haya completado el tiempo de un curso de
formación. Usted también notará que hemos traducido el
boletín al español para resaltar información de barrio con la
esperanza de incluir a todos de nuestros miembros de la
communidad al trabajo que hacemos en Buckner Terrace. La
Asociación de propietarios de casa estámos aquí para todos los
propietarios y damos la bienvenida a sus ideas y pensamientos
cuando pasamos a través de este nuevo año y mejora nuestro
barrio. Si no han ingresado todavía la Asociación de propietarios,
sólo es $24/año/familia. Estos fondos traen más
proyectos/avances hacia el barrio. Una vez más, gracias por
permitirnos servirle como su elegido Co-Chair y Chair.
Importante Barrio Fechas
