<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>Community PatrolEMERGENCY –911Non-Emergency -311SCACP - 614-6751Consider Volunteeringfor your Community Patrol!This article discusses the multiple layers of security within <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>.Layer 1: Neighborhood Watch Program.This is a nationwide program started in 1972 by theNational Sheriffs’ Association. Since that time,Neighborhood Watch Programs have become one of themost effective means of fighting crime in communities.This is because neighborhood residents are the most likelyto know what is going on and the most likely to see a crimeand call for help. The Neighborhood Watch Program issimple in approach in that it only requires residents toform a concerned group of neighbors and to meet therequirements of the local law enforcement agency. Fromthat point on, it is just being observant of theneighborhood surroundings, looking out for each otherand reporting suspicious activity. For our community, callthe Henderson Police Department at 311, or 267-5000.Additional information on the SCA Community NeighborhoodWatch Program (CNWP) can be found on theSCA HOA website, by calling 638-5770, or by contactingyour SCA Community Patrol office at 614-6751. The nextCNWP meeting is May 3.Layer 2: Community Patrol Walking/Biking Volunteers.Patrol members at layer 2 consist of a two-hour patrol oftheir village and adjoining villages wearing the appropriateuniform once a week. This method provides a “slowpatrol” by our members who are very familiar with theirvillages and neighborhood streets. It also provides a moreeffective way of communicating with local residents. Thisalso works well with the CNWP. I often see residentswalking and biking around our community and think ofhow effective it would be to have them all in Patroluniform, a very visible deterrent to criminal activity. Inaddition to showing you care about your community, it isa great way to “GIVE SOMETHING BACK” byvolunteering and performing a great service to yourcommunity.Layer 3: Community Patrol Driving Volunteers.The Community Patrol has three vehicles, clearly marked<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> Community Patrol, and equipped with2-way radios, cell phones, scanners and emergency lights.Layer 3 volunteers drive these vehicles and have contactwith dispatchers in the office (when staffed) andaround-the-clock contact with the Watch Commander andthe Patrol Chiefs. We do our best to have at least onevehicle out at all times on our streets, watching for anysuspicious activities or things that look out of place in ourcommunity. During the hours of darkness, our volunteersalso look for open garage doors and blinking “911” lights,indicators that something may be wrong at thoseparticular homes.Layer 4: Henderson Police Department.Henderson Police patrols are very active in ourcommunity. They often patrol our village streets in the latenight and early morning hours while most of us are allpeacefully sleeping. They are very responsive to calls fromour residents. Layer 4 provides a tremendous deterrent tocrime in our community.AttendThurs., May 10at 5PMPrestige Travel695 N.
