Tonight, I got a chance to present on community outreach to a motivated group of future community leaders at a session of the Citizens Leadership Academy (CLA), a free series of classes offered by the City of Raleigh Community Services Department. I presented with Arlene Sanders from the Historic Oakwood neighborhood and provided insight from the past 8 years that I’ve been involved with my community.

The Trailwood Hills annual homeowners meeting took place on Tuesday, April 6, 2010. We had Captain Perry, who is the Captain for our District, and Officer Draughon, who is Raleigh’s PROP Officer, attend. They spoke to various issues involving PROP and the new nuisance party ordinance. It was very informative and if you would like to see the criteria for what constitutes a violation within PROP and what constitutes a nuisance party, you can check out the blog entry: Noise and Party Ordinance Information. Please check out the criteria when you get a chance so that you can better understand how the process works and what triggers the process. (more…)

Over 80 people were in attendance. Tabitha Groelle made an introduction to the PRR-Watch and the Lineberry Alliance, then welcomed everyone for coming. Captain Perry introduced the other officers:
- Lt Pat Niemann
- Barbie Upchurch
- Bruce Holt
- 2602 Beat officer, Tom Connors
- Davis Mead
Perry started by saying that he is trying to provide as much information as he can to the community, sometimes he (candidly) can’t because he’s busy and other times he can not compromise the integrity of an ongoing investigation.

The Lineberry area has had a rash of home and car break-ins starting November 18, 2009. There have been at-least 10 residential break-ins over the last 3-4 weeks. Before I provide a few tips, let’s start with the basics. If you see anyone that you do not recognize in your or your neighbors yard, call 911 immediately. Don’t assume that they belong there, even if it looks like a service vehicle. Don’t wait until your neighbor comes home, report suspicious activity right away. (more…)
