July 2009 Safety Committee Report

Downed Stop Sign Posted
The stop sign at Canterview and Finesilver was knocked down 1-2 July and has since been re-posted.

Cellular on Patrol
Volunteers conducted weekly neighborhood watch patrols. No suspicious activity was observed; however, some grateful residents were reminded to close garage doors.

One patrol sighted a few teenagers jogging and walking well after the city's new curfew, 11:00 pm.

Blue Armor Patrol Summary
Security officers continued random daily patrols of FSR -- monitoring traffic, raising awareness to property vulnerabilities, and patrolling the park on foot. Overnight patrol coverage was increased in response to previously reported vehicle burglaries.

During July officers also cited vehicles for illegal parking and improper storage.

SAPD Responses
Police responded to 12 calls for service to FSR during July compared to 15 calls during July last year. The monthly average for 2008 was 14 responses.

Two vehicle burglaries were noted, one on Edgecreek and the other on Twinpost. The reports were taken 7 and 29 July respectively. No details are available as of this post.

There were five burglar alarms, two disturbances, and two "miscellaneous" calls. Also, a suspicious vehicle was reported on Ferris Creek at around 11:00 pm on 10 July.

SAPD logged four calls to the Greenbriar neighborhood near Nichols ES, all of them burglar alarms.

Greenbriar, with about 1/4 the number of homes of Finesilver Ranch is the closest gated community and, presumably, has similar demographics for crime reporting comparison purposes.

Sex Offender Watch
No registered sex offenders live in Finesilver Ranch as of this post.

SAFD Responses
There were no fire/ EMS calls to FSR.

What steps will the Finesilver Ranch Safety Committee take on the delinquents whose criminal mischief, vandalism and trespassing left more than a few residences toilet papered in the early morning hours of August 22? The responsible parties were at least two young men aged 16 to 25 driving a black Jeep with the Texas License number of MPJ 857.

Thank you for your report...first heard.

The license plate number was forwarded to Blue Armor Security. Please call Association Management Services, 829-7202, to provide a statement so the appropriate follow-up action may be determined by the FSR HOA Board.
