Burglary
Posted on May 10th, 2011 by roselynHello Neighborhood Watch Members,
Another daytime burglary occurred yesterday at Harbor Square Dr. and Lighthouse. It happened between 9 and 10 am while the homeowner was away. A neighbor saw a small white pickup with two males in it around the time of the burglary. The pickup has NOT been confirmed as being involved in the burglary.
The above is all the information I have. Please everyone! Look outside, watch out for your neighbor's houses and ask them to watch out for your home. Be aware of what is normal and take note when you see something not normal. Lock your home thoroughly including back windows when you leave. Use your deadbolts. Close your garage doors. And keep an eye on folks you see going door to door, they may be looking for yet another empty home to burglarize.
Thank you,
Roselyn Johnson, President

- carry your CELL PHONE when you walk and have ECSO dispatch pre-programmed in it (436-9620)
- if you have a Neighborhood Watch T-SHIRT wear it! Criminals notice it, speeders slow down, loud music is turned down. Visibility helps and advertises that we are an ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH!
- CONTACT your Block Captain or the President if you have reported a crime to the ECSO.

Another Break-in
Posted on May 5th, 2011 by roselynHello Neighborhood Watch Members
There was another incident of breaking and entering last night at the southern end of Tradewinds Dr. I do not know the particulars but was alerted to it by a RPNW member and it is shown on the crime map: http://www.crimereports.com/ (search Pensacola) or http://www.pensacolapolice.com/details.asp?pID=16315. Last night I also received a report of the theft of a wheelbarrow from a front yard near Lighthouse and Harbor Square Dr.
Everyone! Our Neighborhood Watch needs to be visible and active! We cannot stop all crime but we can be a deterrent IF the criminals know we are here. The steps we can take are simple but effective:
- Be visible. If you have a RPNW t-shirt wear it even if you are just working on your front lawn. Put a Neighborhood Watch sticker on your window (I have extra).
- Be visible. Wave to strange cars driving past and note what they look like. Let them know they've been noticed going through our neighborhood.
- Be heard. Call the ESCO at 436-9620 if you see suspicious activity.
- Be active. Drive or walk parts of the Neighborhood Watch area to look for suspicious activity. Carry your cell phone and program in the ECSO number.
- Be watchful. Know what is normal at your neighbors homes and be vigilant for unusual activity. Know your neighbors! Look outside!
- Be smart. Lock your home. Use your deadbolts. Lock your windows. Close your garage door. Lock your car and leave nothing visible. Be cautious answering the door for strangers. Light up the night - turn on your outside lights.
Together we can be the eyes and ears of the Sheriff's Department and can kick crime out of our neighborhood.
Thank you, Roselyn

Posted on October 4th, 2010 by Chris WebsterREGENCY PARK NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH NEWSLETTER:
Greetings neighbors… big news! RPNW elected new officers, and they “officially” assume their roles September 7th.
NEW OFFICERS: Congratulations to President-elect Mart Hearn (474-1339 or 
), Vice-president elect Lonnie Jones (572-8747 or 
), Secretary-elect Nancy McWhirter (484-2670 or 
), and Treasurer Tamara Hurst (478-4915 or 
WARNING: Recently a suspicious man knocked on one of our neighbor’s doors, and claimed he was selling educational books for children. The problem? Companies rarely send solicitors out at 9 o’clock at night. This smart neighbor called the cops, and now the Sheriff’s office is investigating the case.
Tip: Don’t open your door to solicitors, particularly at night. Some are legitimate, but many or not!
PARK UPDATE: Parks and Recreation repaired the two posts at the entrance gate to the park. They also relocated the baseball backstop to a different area of the park, because YOU asked for it. Keep your fingers crossed about the dog park! Officials are discussing the idea.
NEW MEMBER: A big welcome to Joe Holmes, our newest member! We’re already putting him to work. Joe volunteered for gate duty. Thank you very much Joe! We’re looking forward to having you on board.
Hope to see you all at our next meeting (Tuesday, September 7th), and keep up the patrols.

Another Attempted Break-in
Posted on March 4th, 2010 by roselynMonday night, March 1st, there was another attempted break-in, this time on Sharkhead. The homeowner was home and had their alarm system armed. The alarm scared the burglars away but not before they stole the meeting reminder sign which was also on Sharkhead.
