Public Service Announcements:
Officer Rabbitt distributed the Crime Reports for August. We had comments and questions regarding large
trucks on Beckley Rd., vacant houses, and speeding on Watkins Road. He reminded us to be mindful of what
we leave visible in our car when it is parked, especially during the holiday season, and he encouraged us to
remember to lock the windows and doors of our homes and vehicles. He hopes to address panhandling issues
at our next meeting. Officer Rabbitt left his voicemail number for us: 966-3306 ext. 2174

to NPCs.

Although we decided to cancel the November meeting due to the election, we will discuss a date change for
this meeting at our next meeting.
