LANCASTER POLICE DEPARTMENT How Do I Start a Community Watch in My Neighborhood 1. Define the neighborhood.

Determine the area your Watch group will cover.

2. Secure a meeting spot. If your Watch only covers your street, meetings can probably be held in a private home. If your area is much bigger, you may need to obtain permission to use a school or church in the area.

3. Identify crime in your area.

The Lancaster Police Department Community Officer, will share with you crime activity in your area.

Community Watch Tips Tips:

1.Delegate, delegate, delegate! Don’t be afraid to let others share in the responsibility of this big task.

2.Utilize law enforcement - they are a valuable resource.

3.Stay informed on crime in the area.

What You Need:

•A neighborhood without a Neighborhood Watch •A church, school, or home to hold meetings.

•Some willing neighbors to assist you.

•A printer and paper to print flyers and other informative materials.

If you have any further questions please contact Officer Beck at 972-218-2755 at the Lancaster Police Department.

6

LANCASTER CONNECTION SPRING 2016

4. Get help from law enforcement.

Contact your police department and ask for the Community Services Officer. The coordinator will set up times to host two Neighborhood Watch meetings and give you tips on organizing your group.

5. Recruit neighbors. The most effective way to get others involved is to convince them that there is a real need for a Watch.

Using your data on crime for your location, you can effectively convince your neighbors to participate.

6. Stay active. Set up monthly or yearly meetings to receive new tips and updates.

Healthy, Safe & Vibrant Community Lancaster is a place where we embrace public safety in our neighborhoods. The community unites at city-wide events and participates in recreational and cultural activities that keep residents involved and engaged in their respective neighborhoods. Compassionate enforcement personnel help to sustain vibrant residential and business communities. All residents have access to parks and leisure facilities where they live.

EYES & EARS

PROGRAM

Lancaster Eyes and Ears Program (LEEP)

The City of Lancaster Code Compliance Division is seeking volunteers to join the Lancaster Eyes and Ears program (LEEP) The LEEP program will primarily perform duties in the field identifying code violations for code officers to perform further investigation. The program is intended to have volunteers aid city staff in improving and preserving the quality of life in our community. These volunteers will help act as the “eyes and ears” in residential and commercial neighborhoods to City code compliance officers. Citizens are key to identifying potentially serious problems.

Neighborhood Enhancement is

EVERYONE’S BUSINESS! Maintaining livable neighborhoods requires the partnership and participation of all residents. The City of Lancaster codes are intended to benefit everyone while making our neighborhoods a better place to live, work and play. The City codes are minimum standards designed to protect the health, safety and welfare of your neighborhood.

Compliance with these standards can reduce vandalism, deter crime, maintain property values and prevent deterioration of your community

Common Code Violations ILLEGAL DUMPING Some examples include unauthorized use of dumpster; discarding trash and debris on another’s property; or dumping left over construction materials on private or public properties.

HIGH GRASS Violation: Grass and weeds in excess of 12 inches bewtween property lines and paved streets.

INOPERABLE VEHICLES

Junked vehicles may not be located anywhere that is visible from a public place or public right-of-way.

FENCES All fences shall be maintained in good repair and structurally sound condition. Repair of fences require a building permit and inspection by the City of Lancaster.

One Call Does It All! (972) 218-1200 For more information, visit

www.lancaster-tx.com You can report code violations or any other request to City staff 24 hours a day by going to the City of Lancaster website, www.lancaster-tx.com and click “Report A Concern”.

WHAT IS STORMWATER RUNOFF? Storm water is runoff water from rain or melting snow that flows across s the landscape. Runoff flows off of rooftops, paved areas, bare soil, and lawns. Runoff gathers in increasingly large amounts (from puddles, to ditches, to streams, to lakes and rivers) until it flows into the ocean.

In its journey from puddle to ocean, storm water picks up and transports many of the pollutants it encounters.

These pollutants include dirt, pet wastes, pesticides, fertilizers, automobile fluids (such as oil, gasoline, and antifreeze), deicing products, yard wastes, cigarette butts, and litter, to name a few. By carrying all these different kinds of pollution into our waterways, storm water itself becomes a water pollutant.

Plant flowers that need less water; lavender, palms, mimosa and verbena, to name a few.

While our citizens use city services every day, rarely do they see what happens “behind the scenes� or have access to information regarding why and how things happen. The Academy is a great way to find out more about how the City of Lancaster is working for you! Additionally, citizens who are considering or who may consider applying for an appointment to one of our many Boards and Commissions will gain insight into our departments and functions. The Academy offers Lancaster residents an in-depth look into City operations and services.
