Coming to Timbergrove – Private SEAL Security by Chris Ochterbeck & Jennifer Vickers
Starting in November, families in Timbergrove Manor start to get especially busy. Residents are coordinating family vacations, shopping for holiday presents – and criminals are watching our every move. But this year, TMCC residents will have extra protection thanks to additional neighborhood security monitoring by SEAL Security supplementing the dedicated patrollers of Citizen Patrol b e g i n n i n g i n m i d - N ove m b e r a n d continuing into January. In addition to having SEAL Security patrol, which has helped nearby Oak Forest and Garden Oaks subdivisions significantly reduce and deter crime, a resident — or their neighbors or alarm company — can call SEAL’s 24-hour dispatch number to get response times as fast as 2 minutes or less. SEAL Security will be contracted to provide 40 hours per week of patrolling coverage, primarily during weekdays but will rotate and randomize the schedule based on crime statistics and trends and to keep criminals on their toes.
Donations Needed While the TMCC Board of Directors is dedicated to helping with funding of additional security patrols this security can’t be done without your donations!
