Croatan
has organized a Neighborhood Security Program to help keep our
community safe. It
is based on the premise that communication is our biggest ally in
fighting crime.
Croatan Civic League members and
residents contribute the neighborhood security fund.
George Horvath takes care of the hired off duty Police Patrol. The number
of hours of patrol service varies based on the
contributions and the time of the year.
The off-season schedule which runs from September to May.
While the patrol does not eliminate all of our problems, it
significantly reduces problems such as speeding, vandalism, and
parking problems. Master
Police Officer Don Noha and
his team want to make sure that these patrols are meeting your needs
and giving you a good return on your Security Fund Contributions.
Notify Officer Noha by email (DNoha@vbgov.com
) of your specific concern(s) including description with day(s) and
time(s). Please copy me at GHorvath@vbgov.com
For residents who are frequently away and would like for the
Officers to conduct periodic home checks, notify Officer Noha.
They will make every effort to address your concerns as part
of their patrol activity. If
you do not have email capability, contact me, George Horvath at 233-0019.
I will pass the concerns to Officer Noha for you.
Maria Kania works very hard
as our liaison to the Second Precinct. She attends the monthly
Citizens Advisory Council at the Second Precinct as our good will
ambassador and our voice when we need to be heard. She will
send out an Alert to everyone in Croatan on the email list if a
crime is committed or if one can be averted by vigilance.
Please contact Maria by email at mkania@hotmail.com
if you witness something. She can only report what is reported to
her.
Residents are encouraged to call the police if they witness
any suspicious activity.
