[Neighbors] Les Jardins ENP Membership

Very good points, Jim.  
Regardless of whether I can see the ENP officer, I know that he or she is no more than 3 minutes away, even if he/she is at the furthest point of our ENP territory.  Provided, of course, that he/she is on duty, the hours of which  are determined by how many members we have. 
I feel much more secure with a dedicated DPD officer who is being paid by LJE, who will be at my home within 3 minutes of my call to his/her dedicated cell phone,  than with a standard 911 call, which the police themselves say takes between 9 to 20 minutes to respond to.   Thanks, neighbors, for the group effort to protect each other.  What a wonderful neighborhood LJE is!
Very best to all.  Liza

Neighbors,
 
  
 
Some of you have already signed up for the ENP program while others are making their final decisions to participate.
 
  
 
In these last few days I’d like to share my response to a neighbor who questioned the visibility or lack thereof of the patrol cars.
 
  
 
Our ENP police officers are both mobile and static.  As to where and when they "stake out", its quite variable.  They are patrolling three neighborhoods. The locations, how long at each location and how frequent are decisions the police make themselves on an ongoing and need basis.
 
  
 
At any one time, none of us can see the "presence" throughout the entire LJE neighborhood and the two others to the north (North Haven and Hockaday). We purchase in bulk to have greater coverage at the best rates, etc.  Like you, I may not see them "near my house" but I know they are around, typically a few minutes away should they be needed. That’s what important to me.
 
  
 
I don’t equate seeing them with effectiveness. I'd prefer them to be where they feel they are making the best use of their time, this is what we are buying.  Its both preventative and also follow up of reported crimes.
 
  
 
I don't know if you've had a chance to see recent emails regarding surrounding neighborhoods. Some are paying $650 for similar coverage and upwards of $1,800 for full time.  I feel we're getting the best coverage at the best price, all things considered.
 
  
 
I hope this helps a bit and I hope to see you join again for the 2023 season if you have not done so.  Its important for us to hold to certain numbers to guarantee good coverage.
 
  
 
I believe that we're in this together and that we all pay for each other so to speak.  Our neighborhood benefits as our crime is down and we're all working together to keep it that way.
 
  
 
If you’d like to speak with me, feel free to call, text or email.
 
  
 
Thanks,
