Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:34:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: Amber and Dustin Ross http://hppid.wordpress.com/2007/01/13/keeping-high-pointe-safe/#comment-500 Amber and Dustin Ross Mon, 20 Aug 2007 21:15:32 +0000 http://hppid.wordpress.com/2007/01/13/keeping-high-pointe-safe/#comment-500 I am defnitely opposed to more taxes. Like someone mentioned before, paying more taxes doesn't mean that the officers would be assigned to our area. Let's face it. There are some areas that are worse off than us. Last summer I worked from home and saw many shady individuals walking/driving up and down our neighborhood streets. Over the course of an entire summer, I only saw one police officer drive down our block and I am sure he had another agenda. I think that secruity cameras would definitely help and are a great idea but judging by the attendance at the meeting where these were discussed, I am guessing it would be next to impossible to get everyone in HighPointe on board with this. It would take full cooperation from all HighPointe residents to really make it work. But, I know that just the presence of Security Camera signs have made a difference in other communities. Unfortunantly it takes the motivation of all residents to make a community safe. A handful of us can't do it alone. I am defnitely opposed to more taxes.

Kids, I'm sure but what if the worst happened! I agree with Ms. Allen

Let's work with what we already have. Neighborhood watch programs, police being more visiable. Possible a police mobile unit placed here & there. I also agree with the comment about police sitting trying to catch someone not making a complete stop or 5 over mph. My home was broken into 2 yrs ago during working hrs. & in seconds they clean me out. Patroling the neighborhoods is the old fashion way of letting people know someone is watching you.

Use your resources wisely. There alot of places in Cedar Hill that probably could use the presence. I'm retired and I see all kinds of charaters driving up and down the alleys during the day. Even kids out of school roaming around. We don’t need more Police, we need them on patrol and not sitting on 67 or cedar hill rd. or other places trying to catch someone 5 over.

Ms Knedler has a great idea. Additional Lights (Non sky polluting of course in the parks, and along many residential areas also would be helpful. I might add a police chief that seems to care a little more.(Personal rant) When they inactive a thousand dollar motor vehicle break in case a week after it is reported, and after telling we have a huge motor vehicle break in problem in HighPointe, I think a more proactive police chief /presence is needed. Little seems to be done by them when they are called about groups of teenagers wondering the streets at night. In short, I also agree with Mr. Jones above.

Adding a police substation near the fire station would be attractive and provide a sense of security. It would also be nice if they could patrol the community during the day, especially as the children are being released from school. I agree with Maggie Knedler.

This would provide a more visible police presence in this area. I think it would be great if the city would add a police sub station to the already existing fire station.

You might end up paying taxes to provide more police protection to other areas. A tax increase to hire more police officers would not necessarily mean they would be assigned to High Pointe.
