Community Safety Committee
The Community Safety Committee has gone dormant. We maintain some contacts with local law authorities as events require.
The Community Safety Committee (CSC) is about neighbors helping neighbors maintain a safe neighborhood. The CSC works to address aspects of individual and community safety, including requesting maintenance when street lights malfunction, providing alerts via email and flyers regarding criminal activity in the neighborhood, interfacing with the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD), and running the Neighborhood Watch vehicle patrols.
Participation in patrols by every homeowner is necessary to make this program a success. It only requires 2 hours per household a couple times a year. We hope you will consider joining the CSC and joining the Neighborhood Watch. By getting involved, you can make a difference!

On occasion, burglaries, serious vandalism, or suspicious events occur in the neighborhood that warrant alerting homeowners.
