Fellow Midtowners,divbr //divdivCol. Russell Houston of Union Station has offered these three important New Year's resolutions for keeping us all safe in 2012. Take a minute to read them and think about what you can do to keep the resolutions. They don't cost anything--only our determination to keep our beloved Midtown "a safe place to live and work." We all want that for ourselves and for our neighbors./divdiv"Be a part of the solution!" Take these resolutions to heart for the New Year! /divdivBest, /divdivPeggy Williamson, Midtown Security Community Chair/divdivbr //divdivUnion Station New Year's Resolutions:/divdivbr //divdiv1. b"Stow it; don't show it."/b You've heard this many times before. Help reduce the number of times that Midtown cars get broken into because someone has left something attractive in full view. Union Station has posters with the slogan on it you can put up at your business or place of worship./divdiv2. bLet "wandering workers" find other employment--but not in Midtown! ( Don't hire them.)/b Our Union Station officers know these "wandering workers" by sight and by name. They see them working in Midtown yards because someone was willing to hire them. The officers have warned us that we are taking big risks when we hire "wandering workers." They can't believe that some Midtowners still hire "wandering workers." Recently the iEvergreen News /iwrote about concerns about hiring "wandering workers." /divdiv3. b Be very aware of your surroundings. Call the police if something happens or if something looks suspicious./bspan /spanspan /spanspanRobbery always involves the taking of property from another person, accompanied by the threat of violence. Victims should not resist turning over property, but instead comply and try to get a good description of suspect(s)(height, weight, facial characteristics, clothing, speech, tattoos,) or vehicles (make, model, damage, tag number, etc.). The police should be contacted immediately using 911. Victims are not encouraged to follow or pursue robbery suspects. /spanspanUnion Station is also experiencing some thefts of license plates from parked vehicles. Please encourage everyone to: 1) park in well-lighted areas, 2) keep an eye on the tag on their parked vehicles and 3) pay particular attention to anyone prowling around driveways or parking lots./span/divdivspanbr //span/divdivspanHere's to a safe and Happy New Year in 2012!/span/divdivbr //divdivbr //divdivimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/932455490283565160-141316187801765173?l=midtownsecurity.blogspot.com' alt='' //div pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ygaSM_3FjrrDFHoThjPjyce2GTI/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ygaSM_3FjrrDFHoThjPjyce2GTI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ygaSM_3FjrrDFHoThjPjyce2GTI/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ygaSM_3FjrrDFHoThjPjyce2GTI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?a=S_HYlo5BCsU:qEODYO6zy80:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?a=S_HYlo5BCsU:qEODYO6zy80:V_sGLiPBpWU"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?i=S_HYlo5BCsU:qEODYO6zy80:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?a=S_HYlo5BCsU:qEODYO6zy80:qj6IDK7rITs"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?a=S_HYlo5BCsU:qEODYO6zy80:gIN9vFwOqvQ"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?i=S_HYlo5BCsU:qEODYO6zy80:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?a=S_HYlo5BCsU:qEODYO6zy80:F7zBnMyn0Lo"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MidtownSecurityCommunity?i=S_HYlo5BCsU:qEODYO6zy80:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MidtownSecurityCommunity/~4/S_HYlo5BCsU" height="1" width="1"/

We are very fortunate to live in the Union Station precinct. On Christmas Eve while many of us are celebrating with family and friends our Union Station officers will be out patrolling Midtown to make sure that we stay safe. divbr //divdivThere is a great opportunity for you to help make a difference for these officers who will be giving up time with their families to work Christmas Eve. If you are going to be in town and can take food to the precinct on Christmas Eve, please plan to do so. We want to demonstrate our support and concern for these men and women by making sure they are well fed./divdivbr //divdivMake cookies or a cake. Buy some soft drinks. Send an e-mail to your neighbors and take up a collection to buy food together to take to the precinct. Buy something tasty to take to the precinct. Whatever you can offer will be greatly appreciated we are sure. It is important that you label the food you bring. Attach the following information: Your name, address, and "Midtown Security Community thanks you for keeping us safe." Bring the food in a container that you will not need back. See that the food gets to the precinct some time during the day on Saturday, Dec. 24. We hope to have food and drinks for the officers all day and night. /divdivbr //divdivIf you've never been a part of providing food to the precinct, it is a very rewarding project. The officers are deeply appreciative./divdivbr //divdivThank you for making sure that we honor our Union Station precinct officers and staff. "Be a part of the solution.
