BOB FLETCHER <br />RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF <br />14 W. Kellogg Boulevard <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 -1648 <br />Telephone: (612) 266 -9300 <br />Telefacsimile: (612) 266 -9326 <br />Dear Neighborhood Watch Participants, <br />As of January 1, 1997, I became the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department Crime Prevention <br />Officer for the 7 Contract Cities (Arden Hills, Gem Lake, Little Canada, North Oaks, Shoreview, <br />Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township). I, along with the help of other staff, will be <br />attempting to aggressively start and improve the Neighborhood Watch Groups in these Cities. <br />When a burglary occurs, one suffers not only a monetary loss in terms of valuable and cherished <br />possessions, but also the loss of ones sense of security. The question "Are they going to come <br />back ?" has probably crossed your mind. While this possibility exists, it is usually the exception <br />rather than the rule. <br />One of the best ways to prevent crime is to reduce the opportunity for crime to occur. There are <br />many steps you can take to reduce the criminal's opportunity to victimize you. Those steps may <br />include upgrading the locks or securing windows in your home, installing an alarm system, or <br />simply making a change in some portion of your life style (doing something in a different way). <br />The Crime Prevention Unit of the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department offers a residential <br />security survey free of charge to any resident in the 7 contract cities. A Crime Prevention Officer <br />or staff member will come to your home, assess the current level of security in your home and <br />make recommendations where improvements can be made. The officer will also provide written <br />literature on physical security and personal safety. <br />If you would like to take advantage of the Residential Security Survey or would like to know <br />more about the other Crime Prevention Programs offered by the Ramsey County Sheriff's <br />Department, please contact the Crime Prevention Unit at 490 -4503. <br />much. <br />Crime <br />a - , Deputy <br />vention Officer <br />ADULT DETENTION DIVISION (612) 266 -9350 • CIVIL P <br />Page 23 <br />DIVISION (612) 481-1317 • WARRANTS (612) 266 -9320 <br />
