Welcome to our neighborhood watch page! I hope this will be a place where we can keep track of incidents we see or hear, whether they be shootings, apparent drug deals, or any other suspicious activity.

If you have suggestions for the page, please let me know -- I'm making it up as I go! -- Best, Zach (7438 Milan)

One of the key messages from our neighborhood meeting tonight was that if you see or hear any suspicious activity, please call it in. Even if you're not sure exactly what happened, or where you heard it, or whatever, it's still helpful to the police if you call it in. If it's an actual crime, the police encourage you to call 911. If it's not a crime happening right then, but something you think is worth reporting (and again, if in doubt, go ahead and call), the number for the police is 725-2211.

Also, if you see or hear something, consider taking a minute to make a note of it on this page. Be sure to include the day and time and a rough description of what happened.
