If you have someone that you are concerned with in your neighborhood you should call the County Sheriff’s office or 911 and report that there is a SUSPICIOUS person - the key word is SUSPICIOUS – or advise them that you FELT THREATENED and they will most likely send out a deputy to check it out.'

another great article in that bulletin re the possible future of the tierra el sol restaurant bldg - will the acc buy that, too? |
I know one Community Watch driver who was highly offended by this article in the POA and contacted the editor. Was told it was a group of people who meet and discuss such topics that stated this in the article. He suggested they should actually follow him around some day to see exactly what it is he does. He is out of his truck more than in it, answering the calls of residents for help, some legit, some, well lets just say, because they like to complain about anything. Keep in mind, these men and women work all hours of the day and evening for minimum wage. I couldn't imagine driving around from midnight to 8:00am and not being bored out of my mind. That would last for about 2 nights with me.
