Chief's Corner:

November 8, 2011

Now that we are heading in to the fall and winter months, I wanted to make everyone aware of some of the events taking place in our community. Recently we have seen an increase in prowlers in town. One resident on Rt. 120 found someone rifling through their vehicle. Another resident found someone prowling around his garage; he ran off when confronted.

We continue to have thefts reported. Copper is still a high priority target for thieves. Residents have also reported thefts of jewelry and some medications.

I also would like to remind everyone that rifle hunting season begins November 9, 2011. I hope that everyone respects the rights of property owners and of hunters so we can have an enjoyable season without anyone getting hurt and without any damage to people's property.

I would also like to make sure that everyone is aware that the winter ban on parking on the street is in effect as of November 1, 2011. This is designed to assist our road crews to help with winter snow removal.

Finally, we continue to need your help reporting suspicious persons or vehicles. If something doesn't look right or seems out of place, please contact our office, and we will dispatch an officer to investigate.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

Paul M. Roberts
Chief
