POLICE DEPARTMENT ACHIEVES CRIME REDUCTIONS IN 2012
One of the reasons why people live, work, and visit Greenwood Village is because of their ongoing enjoyment and sense of security in their homes and neighborhoods. This sense of comfort for people also extends to learning in schools, traveling on Village roadways, and greeting customers at their places of business. As you will read on page 10 of this Newsletter, the Police Department released its crime statistics for 2012. I am excited to report that crime in the Village has decreased over the past three years. Our Village is safer because of the proactive efforts of our Police Department. Just Ron Rakowsky as important to ensure the Police Department’s rrakowsky@ success are the efforts of our residents and greenwoodvillage.com businesses to watch out for their neighbors and 303-486-5741 report suspicious activity. Several of the crimes committed in the Village have been solved because of the increased awareness of citizens to keep their neighborhoods crime free and call the Police. Being aware of your surroundings and activity in your neighborhood will benefit all of us. Never hesitate to call 9-1-1. If something does not feel or look right, it probably is not what it should be.
