November’s Neighborhood Crime Watch meeting was a great success. We discussed the “Lock it, Hide it, Keep it” an LAPD Intuitive that North Hills West NC partnered to support financially. We also discussed ways to stay safe during the holiday season and as the dark sets in sooner this winter such as changing patterns and habits at home with lighting, locking side yard gates, calling the LAPD if you see ANY suspicious activity and calling in Graffiti to 311 – (it’s still a free, anonymous call).
We need more neighbors to participate and be part of the team to protect our neighborhoods. If you’d like to volunteer your organizational skills and be a team leader, please contact Officer Ken Crawford at 23536@LAPD.LACITY.org or call him 818-363-1726 for more information.
Our next general meeting:
February 28th, 2012
Church of the Living Word (Rayen and Haskell)
Neighborhood Crime Watch meeting with Officer Crawford

It’s now even easier to report graffiti to the City so it can be cleaned up fast.
In addition to calling 311, you can now report graffiti directly using the City’s online 311 function at http://anti-graffiti.lacity.org/welcome.cfm. Just enter the exact address and a report and clean-up order are automatically generated.
The City also is making efforts to explore today’s rapidly evolving technology to make it faster and easier for citizens to report graffiti and other non-emergency problems. The City now has its own iPhone application to report problems. The application was created by Citysourced in a public-private partnership and can downloaded for free on iTunes. It allows iPhone users to take snapshots of graffiti, potholes, illegal dumping and other issues. Using the iPhone’s GPS system, the photo and the exact location are automatically sent directly to the City’s 311 system. It even notifies the user when the problem is resolved.
