The top 7 items stolen from cars are: GPS, bags & wallets, stereos, radar detectors, MP3 players, CD players, and amplifiers.

• Safety Reminder: A neighbor reported recently that a person walked into his garage around 7 p.m. on a weeknight. It was fortunate that the homeowner spotted this intruder and scared him away. A reminder to keep garage doors closed and entry doors to your house locked at all times. If you see suspicious activity taking place, please call 911 immediately and report it. If you wish to file a police report for a crime which happened earlier, call 311.

Points of Interest from the
January 9, 2008 PCIC Meeting

• Training time for new police recruits has been reduced in an effort to get more police out on the streets sooner.

• There is funding until June for the “Zero Tolerance” efforts.

• The role of the SRO (School Resource Officer) is being revised.

• Truancy issues with the schools are being addressed. Some students are only required to be in school for a few hours each day. Example: GTI (Group Training Initiative) is set up for students who are suspended.

• Several Burmese refugees have been resettled in the Maplewood area. A positive rapport with the police needs to be established.
