Spring 2018 Neighborhood Security Update · GBSA

/in /by

There are many great reasons to join the GBSA!

  • From November through January, our Securitas Officers responded to hundreds of calls from you, regarding legitimate security concerns.  Most were involving suspicious individuals, activities or vehicles driving through or parked in our neighborhoods.  Almost half of those calls were from non-member neighbors, who we’d love to join our GBSA Security Team!
  • With 24 entrances/exits into Belhaven and 14 into Belhaven Heights, it is hard to keep up with car and foot traffic entering neighborhoods.  A Rolling Patrol unit, along with watchful neighbors, is one of the best ways to stay on top of that activity.  We ALL need to do our part!
  • Just over 300 of your concerned, pro-active neighbors make up the current members/ Security Team of GBSA.  They pay for an Armed, Rolling Patrol Officer, 24/7/365, that we ALL benefit from.  Members also get numerous additional, personalized services.  We need more of our neighbors to stand up and help out by joining the GBSA Security Team!
  • With 100 more GBSA members, we can have an off-duty JPD officer, coordinating security patrols with our Securitas officers, 4 hours a night/early morning, 7 days a week.  This could have a strong impact on the safety and security of our neighborhoods.  With well over 1,000 households in both neighborhoods, 100 more GBSA Security Team Members is really not a lot to ask.  It’s well worth the $0.74 per day for your first year!
  • An Additional Rolling Patrol, during high-crime hours, could be one of the best ways to keep “live eyes” on who is roaming around during the late night hours.  That, in addition to the new cameras on selected entrances, can greatly discourage the criminal element from targeting our neighborhoods.  Some neighborhoods who have no security patrol or who have discontinued their patrol have seen occasional increases in criminal activities.  We don’t want that in our Greater Belhaven Community.
