Please also increase patrols in the North Service Road and Lakeview area. Cars are broken into about 3 times a year in our area, and a lot of young adults overtake Bayview Park in the late spring and summer evenings comparing stereo speaker volumes, and engine noise, as well as drinking (leaving bottles and caps everywhere for kids to step on) and doing drugs (directly observed), not to mention the constant transient traffic to the parking lot to "exchange" items with the group.... This seems to be getting worse every year. It wouldn't hurt to have some cruisers park in the parking lot at dusk to do paper work from time to time....

I work at Couture Hair Design, about a 1.5 months ago we were robbed here, a situation that should have never taken place considering we and many others have asked for Police surveillance in the area. I have so many clients in the area that have complained of burglaries and car break ins on a regular basis here and many people have complained in order for something to be done! Everyone in the area deserve to be protected and feel safe in their homes. Something should have been done a long time ago.

To support police in taking a proactive approach to these Criminal Acts in our area we are seeking police presence between the stated hours. Break ins have also been identified in our area around 50 point and safety is a top concern of many residents especially with the number of small children in the area.

I have not had my car broken into -yet lol, but living at the end where the escarpment is we have vehicles at all hours parking and smoking and doing whatever, (hikers are fine) even witnessed a fight between a bunch of guys. Wish they would go do there "exchanges" elsewhere.

My vehicle was ransacked a week ago. Also someone came to my door late at night we think was a possible invasion. Called police but they would not come out. So the only thing I could do was put suspects face on Facebook as we had a video. Not a good feeling that the police would not come out.

Our belongings, totallying $800, were stolen from our cars a few weeks ago. We need a stronger police presence in our community as the theft in our community is dangerously high. Every couple of weeks people in our community group are victim to theft. Please help us!!!
