From Your Dearborn Hills Board
Dearborn Hills Residents,
Recently, Channel 7 did a news report about a disgruntled property owner, two residents and their complaints about the Dearborn Hills Civic Association (DHCA) plan review process. We were saddened to see that the reporter did not include the many additional details we shared, establishing that the accusations of discrimination are wholly unfounded and slanderous.
We want to make very clear to everyone that our plan review process is always done with professionalism and fairness towards all. The persons who do the plan reviews are persons highly qualified to make decisions. Their professional work includes: architecture, landscape design, real estate, and appraisals. They make their recommendations to the board based on the deed restrictions, their professional experience, their long term residency and familiarity of our Hills neighborhood. They do all of this work for free, often working long hours with residents to help them create plans that satisfy the desires of our homeowners while satisfying the property deed restrictions.
All plan reviews are accepted or rejected based on the deed restrictions. A person's sex, race, ethnicity, nation of origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status or any other trait of that person has no bearing in how these decisions are made.
Put simply, the allegations against the board are false and slanderous.
Furthermore, we're embarking on a campaign to show the real Dearborn Hills, to talk about the diversity of our residents, the harmony of our neighborhood and neighbors, and the lifestyle that living in Dearborn Hills affords. We're going to be showing the many positive experiences residents have, and the unique history and character of Dearborn Hills.
Lastly, if you'd like to support our efforts to enforce the neighborhood deed restrictions, you can go to our website, www.dearbornhills.org, and donate specifically to the legal fund.
Thank you for your continued support,
DHCA Board

~ 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.
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!
