Security update: In my role as Security Director, I monitor the KCPD crime map on a weekly basis so I am informed of recent crimes in the area. The good news is that crime in Greenway Fields occurs rarely! Also, I communicate as needed with Sargeant Sebastien Hanriot, our KCPD off duty officer.
New news… Sargeant Hanriot keeps a “house to watch list” which provides KCPD officers information about residents who are out of town. If you plan to be out of town and want them to keep an eye on your home, please email Sebastien.hanriot@kcpd.org and provide your name, home address, phone number and dates you will be away.
KCPD officers continue to patrol our neighborhood at various times throughout the week. Auto break-ins tend to be our most recent form of crime so please make sure to keep your car door locked and don’t leave valuables in sight. Similarly, keep your doors to your house locked and use a security or “smart” type doorbell. Here are a few important tips:
- If a crime occurs: Call 911.
- If you hear sirens and helicopters: Go inside and lock your doors.
- If you happen to see a crime occur (or a suspected criminal): Do not approach the person. If you are able to safely get a description of the person please do so and call 911 with the details. The police have been responsive when called, so use 911.
Please keep in mind that the Greenway Fields Facebook page is not monitored. If you need to report anything to the board, please use our email: board@greenwayfields.org.
Block captain update: The Board is wanting to improve communications with neighbors and block captains who share information with the neighbors on their block. We have updated our block captain list and are looking for new Block Captains for the blocks noted below. Being a block captain is a great way to meet neighbors, and time commitment is minimal. Block captains generally relay information from the Board to residents about neighborhood events, welcome new neighbors to the community, organize block parties, and maintain a list of residents on their blocks (sharing it with other residents on the block). If interested, please email board@greenwayfields.org with your name, home address, phone number, and email.
