There have been reports of burglaries here in Brunswick Meadows. As most of you know, we are living outside Houston city limits so HPD does not service our neighborhood. Because we are in an unincorporated part of Harris County, we rely on the Sheriff's Office for dealing with crime. The MUD that provides us water also has a contract with the Sheriff to patrol and you've probably seen the deputies' cars on the streets.
I recall some effort about a year ago to form a Neighborhood Watch program, but don't know if it ever got off the ground. There was a "Take Back the Night" gathering at the playground last month that sparked much of the organization amongst us homeowners (thanks Felicia!) and I remember some folks sharing their concerns about break-ins and what was being done to prevent such crimes. I know that many of us have security alarm systems (based on all the ADT & Brinks signs in our yards) so that clearly is not a sufficient answer to the problem.
So, let's discuss. Anyone know if the Neighborhood Watch program is going on? If so, please comment on how to get involved with it. Any other ideas for dealing with this problem?
