[Neighbors] Weekly crime report from our area

[Amanda Ethridge]

Thank you Donna and others for sharing the benefits of ENP. This was a huge
bonus to us when we moved to this neighborhood that this service is
offered. Not only does it deter crime by having the police officers drive
through/sit in their car as mentioned, but the potential for faster
response time is even more vital, since the Dallas Police are having
terribly long wait times for 911 calls. I keep reading terrible stories on
Facebook in other parts of Dallas where people waited incredibly long times
on Dallas 911 calls.

We live on Meadowdale, and we are members of ENP and have been for years.
One time our alarm went off, and the ENP was there so fast and checked out
our house for us and was texting us updates. The regular Dallas Police
would not have been there as quickly!

Please sign up if you have not already signed up. Very low cost compared to
the benefit. We would love for enough people to sign up so we could get our
neighborhood more hours of ENP. This neighborhood is such a wonderful place
to live with a great group of neighbors!

Happy Holidays,
Amanda & Jake Ethridge
Meadowdale
