FBAC News - November 2012


Crime down versus August, September
We are pleased to report that the overall crime trends are down again after spiking the last few months. In the period from 9/23 to 10/20 we had 15 total crimes (see Officer Clark's report below for details). This is only slightly above the average of 14 crimes per month, and down from 22 the previous period and 19 the period before that.

Pilot program - marked patrols
FBAC is experimenting with a pilot program of marked patrols. Selected patrols will be in cars with magnetic signs attached identifying the vehicles as FBAC patrols. We will be evaluating feedback with our officers in November and December. We'd like to know what you think too - please email Nancy any feedback or if you spot a marked patrol.

FBAC Patrol - News and Notes from Officer Clark
A robbery occurred at 957 N. Highland Av. Please read the Officer's Narrative for details of the incident. The second robbery was reported on last month’s report. (Drewry St)

As we approach Thanksgiving this month, members please your out of town patrol requests so that the FBAC officers can increase patrols and check your residence. Refer to the monthly schedule for the email address.

FBAC Officers made three arrests last month. Two arrests were for criminal trespass and the other arrest was for urinating in public. 

Once again we are getting reports that residents are allowing their animals/dogs run without leashes in Orme Park and John Howell Park.  This is against city ordinance and you could be cited.  If you would like your dog to be off-leash please take them to the Piedmont Park Dog Park.
