Help Us To Help You! Volunteers, with the exception of a paid part-time secretary, staff the committee. The necessity to employ a professional arose in 1998, caused by an increased volume of work. The committee meet once a month to review the current projects and discuss new issues.
Rosebank Police Station: Going on holiday? Have you: o Checked your alarm o Has anyone staying on your property got the wherewithal to summon help, e.g. panic button, a charged cell phone with contact details of who to contact. o Arranged for the newspaper delivery to be stopped, lawn to be mowed, garden kept clean and watered. o Arranged for someone to switch house lights on and off. The personal touch is better than the rigid precision of a timer switch. Lights are switched on earlier when there are heavy storm clouds about. o Thought of having a TV or wireless switched on and off at the usual time? o Considered spending 5 minutes at Rosebank Police Station completing the Vacant House Register. This will ensure that inbetween their other duties, the police will keep an eye on your house. In general, the police prefer to just drive past slowly. The current thinking is against the previous practice of getting out and having a good look in. This, it is felt, draws attention to the unoccupied property. Security Initiatives: Saxonwold and Parkwood are working towards securing the area. Saxonwold will be ready to change over to a ‘proactive’ security system by February/March 2008. Similarly, work has begun on securing Parkwood. Upper Parkwood has representatives who have volunteered in each street. Lower Parkwood, however, is not represented except for Cardiff Road. If anyone would like to volunteer to represent their streets and actively be part of any talks, etc, please contact Penelope at SAPRA 084 595 9000. ADT is once again warning that travelers returning home from OR Tambo Airport have become targets for hijackings and robberies. Suspects, believed to be working in groups of three to five men, carefully select their victims, targeting only those carrying expensive electronic equipment or a large amount of money. These men are armed and dangerous. Remember to be constantly on the lookout for any suspicious characters or vehicles. If you feel you are being followed, drive to the nearest police station and report the situation. Click to Download Document Hijacking Info Oct06
