Updates from the Police Department Lock your car and garage door. 3/29/11 In Cary, over the past 15 months, 220 unforced burglaries have occurred in Cary. Unlocked cars, access to garage door openers, unlocked garages, and garage door entrances have given criminals easy access to purses, wallets, homes, and other valuables. As many of you are now aware, either by sight or getting pulled over, Holly Springs Police Department now has a special unit dedicated to enforcing traffic safety and speed limits. They have held several operations along Avent Ferry Rd, Hwy 55, business 55, and in various subdivisions within Holly Springs. The March Information Fair was very successful with several families turning out to shred documents and learn about other family safeguards. These events will continue to be a big part of our community. Future events will be posted on the website. New changes will occur within the department regarding the community watch liaison between the various subdivisions and the police department. Currently, Officer Nelson is our liaison. During the transition, Office Michael Stone will replace Officer Nelson as our liaison.
