The retirement of Chief Ronald Haddad brought with it the appointment of a new police chief—Issa Shahin. Soon after his appointment, Chief Shahin requested to meet with the DHCA about our neighborhood sn our concerns.
Your Board spent over an hour talking with the City’s new top law enforcement officer, and his immediate staff. We are happy to hear from the Chief about his new initiatives that are meant to address the most pressing concerns of the community, and his willingness to work with Dearborn Hills specifically.
You may have already noticed some much-improved street signs around the neighborhood and an increased police presence both within the neighborhood and patrolling on Cherry Hill! (See related post on our website about the new Traffic Safety Unit that Chief Shahin just launched!)
As you know, we live in a nice neighborhood and there will always be somebody looking to take something of value. So, what should we ALL do to keep our Property and our Belongings safe?
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 has spoken up, that has raised a flag and made our Police Department aware of some situation or issue. 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!
