Historical November 1983 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The Skinker-DeBaliviere community needs to be aware of the recent crime developments. Within one month, from Sept. 1 to Oct. 1, there were sixteen residential burglaries and four street robberies.
In conferring with Captain Alphin, we feel that this pattern is excessive.
In response to this, Captain Alphin has activated an immediate foot patrol and an additional patrol car.
For this community to remain “ours,” we must take action and join in with the police department.
It is important to increase awareness of your block’s activity, secure your homes, lock your doors, turn on your outdoor lights, keep your neighbors informed, and call the police whenever there is any suspicious activity or people in your neighborhood.
The Skinker-DeBaliviere community is a great place to live and we can prove it.
