11 Crime Assessment by Type Crime stats in this area indicate: Most concerning 34% increase in property theft (likely to continue). 35% rise in aggravated assaults (likely to continue). A slight and likely upward rise in prowler activity. Low rise in acts of vandalism (tagging/graffiti/property destruction). Residents continue to report increased foot mobile and car prowling as well as sketchy door salesman.

12 Neighborhood Watch Update The neighborhood Watch has grown to over 22 people. Security concerns - Owners still not locking cars (easy targets). - Reporting of activity not going through our channels (nextdoor.com). - Prowling activity not getting called into OPD. - Homeless explosion continuing (fire/property values).

13 Neighborhood Watch Update (cont d) Area access and area denial (discourage intruders) - Continue to work with OPD to seek additional patrols/police presence during late night/early AM. Surveillance (human eyes and technology) is key. - Video surveillance. Need to ID homes that have video surveillance assets (include cameras and ring doorbells) and convince them to join the watch. - Increase watch group surveillance coverage area. - Additional membership/recruiting (we have eyes on east Soyla but not enough on the entire street yet).

14 Neighborhood Watch Way Ahead REPORT, REPORT, REPORT! THIS IS CRITICAL! USE CITY NUMBERS! No one should ignore an issue. This is how we get increased support from OPD. Developing detailed letter to the City to address: - Crime, homeless enforce protected habitat. - Ways to mitigate homeless camping. - Seek concurrence from neighboring HOA(s). Increase communication links and build membership.

15 Neighborhood Watch Way Ahead Urge neighbors to step up home security by locking their cars, arming car alarms. Consider security systems, or at a minimum, cheap and easy to install brighter lighting to include motion activated lights to discourage thieves. Surveillance (human eyes and technology) is key. - Video surveillance. Need to ID homes that have video surveillance (to include cameras and ring doorbells) and convince them to join the watch.
