April 2022 PRESIDENT’S PEN
Dear Neighbors, Have you seen the security company commercial where the actor takes off the ski mask and there is another one beneath it? Then he takes off that ski mask Michele and a third one is beneath the Compton, second one? His message is the Board company offers layered security. President There has been renewed concern about security here at Windsor Gardens after a locked door in a lobby was pried open with a crowbar. The reason I mention the commercial is that is the way we need to think of security, as well. We have 24/7 Community Response, we have locked entrance and exit doors and we have locks on our cars and our units. None of which is failproof but layered together we have a much better chance of keeping criminals out. In response to the criminal activity, Community Response is actively pursuing leads on recent incidents, increasing patrols and building checks and responding to all suspicious activity calls from residents. The board will be voting on reestablishing the community response committee to open more direct channels of communication. But I am requesting that you use the third layer of protection. Many of us grew up in an era when we did not lock house doors, particularly when we were home. But times have changed. It is ever more important that we lock our unit doors and lock our vehicles, especially when we are home. Please consider getting in the habit of locking doors. And, please do not give building keys out to service providers or share underground garage codes, especially with Uber, Lyft and other delivery services. The association will continue to work on campuswide internet connectivity to install cameras and improve communication.
