At our recent Spring Meeting, Tim Hawkins from the Property Maintenance and Development Services in the City of Dearborn spoke about this newly formed department. This attachment lists the various contacts and email addresses.

The phone number for the new Call Center is 313-943-2150. They are getting a lot of call volume so the wait time can be lengthy. Therefore he recommends using these email addresses.

~ Update on Criminal Activity in our Neighborhood ~

Thank You to all Concerned and Involved Residents - you again have made a Big, Positive Difference!

As some of you are already aware, since this past fall, our neighborhood has experienced a noticeable increase in cars being broken into and items from them being stolen. In some cases, wheels from vehicles, and in some cases, entire vehicles, have been stolen.

After hearing from many affected residents (who spoke up) about these on-going issues, your Board reached out directly to Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad to discuss this situation and see what could be done.

We are happy to report that Chief Haddad was very receptive and responsive to our concerns. Working with his staff, he implemented an aggressive initiative in November and December in our neighborhood that involved around the clock deployment of plainclothes and uniform patrols; additional traffic units being deployed on overtime; and door to door delivery in some areas of Crime Prevention materials to promote greater awareness of the City's "Lock it or Lose it - If you See Something, Say Something!" campaign.

As a result of this significantly increased activity, as well as several other contributing factors, Chief Haddad reports that Dearborn Police were able to arrest several individuals who were responsible for many of the crimes in our neighborhood.

Chief Haddad is happy to report:
-   that there were NO reported larcenies from autos in the month of December in our area
-   that criminal activity in December in our area was 31.3% less than the same period last year.
-   The City of Dearborn will post an overall 14% reduction in crime in 2017.

Please join us in thanking Chief Haddad and our Dearborn Police Department for their on-going efforts.

All this is Good News, but we need to continue to be vigilant.

We live in a nice neighborhood and there will always be somebody looking to take something of value. So, what should we ALL do?

It starts with the "Lock it or Lose it - If you See Something, Say Something!" campaign. (See this link for more information: 2017 “Lock It or Lose It” campaign aims to decrease ... - City of Dearborn)

Five Simple Steps
1.   Lock your Car, your Home and your Garage
     over 75% of larcenies from cars occur when the cars are un-locked
2.   Keep valuables out of your car (or at least out of sight)
3.   Park Cars in your driveway when possible.
4.   Keep outdoor lights on (porches, driveways, garages, etc.)
5.   If you See Something, Say Something.

If you notice something or someone that seems out of place or unfamiliar, call the Police at 313-943-3030 to report it. Do not assume its nothing. Do not Assume that someone else will call. We urge everyone to report ANY suspicious activity.

The DHCA Board wants to thank everyone of you that spoke up, that raised a flag and made all of us aware of this situation. Without that kind of involvement, progress - on any front - will always be much slower.

So let’s keep up the good work! Let’s all Lock it! Let’s all Speak up!
…and make our Dearborn Hills neighborhood better for everyone!
