Roving Patrol<br />
The primary function of a Roving Patrol service is to assist with crime<br />
deterrence by staying highly visible while conducting routine patrols<br />
throughout the community to observe and report suspicious activity<br />
to the local authorities and/or association. The Patrol Officers also<br />
assist with service calls within the community. Some of the typical calls<br />
received are as follows:<br />
• Noise disturbances<br />
• Suspicious persons, vehicles or activities<br />
• Welfare checks<br />
• Property Damage<br />
• Solicitors in gated communities<br />
• Courtesy checks of your home (only if there are not any signs of forced<br />
entry present)<br />
While the officers do their best to handle most situations, sometimes<br />
Police assistance is necessary to properly handle the situation. The<br />
Roving Patrol Officers are not Law Enforcement and do not have the<br />
authority to arrest or detain unless, in the rare occasion, they are<br />
conducting a citizen’s arrest. This means that if the Roving Patrol Officers<br />
are called out to investigate a suspicious person and make contact with<br />
the individual, they cannot hold them for questioning if the subject fails<br />
to comply with the request to identify themselves and/or state their<br />
business. At that point the Officers will contact the Police for assistance<br />
if it is necessary. If the subject flees from the Patrol Officer, they are not<br />
permitted to give chase whether on foot or in a vehicle.<br />

There are times were the officers are called in situations where the Police/<br />
Fire/EMS needs to be the primary responders and called first. Some of<br />
these types of situations are as follows:<br />
• Speeding vehicles/reckless driving<br />
• Crimes that are potentially violent in nature<br />
• Domestic disturbances • Fire, flood or blood<br />
• Vehicle accidents • Medical emergencies<br />
The Roving Patrol Officers may be called by residents for any of the<br />
6<br />
<strong>March</strong> <strong>2019</strong> | <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong>
situations listed above, but it is important that the local authorities are<br />
contacted first to ensure the proper response to the situation has been<br />
provided. The Roving Patrol Officers may then take direction from these<br />
authorities and respond accordingly in correlation with policy for the<br />
current situation at hand.<br />
Important phone numbers:<br />

Please remember to lock your car doors. Also, if you see anything<br />
suspicious, please call the Constables right away. Even if it turns out to<br />
be nothing, they would rather check it out to keep the neighborhood<br />
safe. Every now and again, something that people may think is nothing,<br />
has actually turned into something.<br />

GOLF COURSE Safety<br />
Please be aware of the safety hazards involved in trespassing onto<br />
the Sterling Country Club and Houston National cart paths and golf<br />
course. The cart paths on both courses are only for golfers that have<br />
registered through our Pro Shop. Cart paths are a means for players<br />
to complete their round of golf as quickly, conveniently and safely as<br />
possible. As the <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> community continues to grow we feel<br />
it is our responsibility to educate every resident as best we can to<br />
keep pedestrians and their pets safe and away from the cart paths.<br />
Golf balls are often hit at speeds over 150 mph and can have deadly<br />
consequences to a human or pet if hit in the head, throat or chest.<br />
Because the paths are for registered golfers, those playing golf are not<br />
aware of the presence of pedestrians on the course, which can lead to<br />
very damaging collisions with hikers/bikers and their pets. This January<br />
I fielded a report of a pedestrian being struck by a golf ball and other<br />
reports of residents having near miss encounters with golf carts when<br />
traveling along the paths. Hiking, jogging, biking, dog walking, golf<br />
cart/ATV’s not being used to play golf, skateboarding and skating<br />
on the cart paths is strictly prohibited anywhere on the golf course<br />
because of safety hazard and trespassing concerns. Thanks for your<br />
cooperation!<br />

CFISD Earns National Student<br />
Data Privacy Designation<br />
In demonstrating a commitment to protecting student data through<br />
modern, rigorous policies and practices, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD was<br />
awarded the national Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) Seal on Jan.<br />
16 th from the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN).<br />
CFISD joins 16 other districts across the nation and two others in Texas<br />
in earning the national privacy distinction. With 91 campuses and more<br />
than 116,000 students, CFISD is the second-largest school district among<br />
those awarded the TLE Seal.<br />
According to CoSN, school districts receiving the TLE Seal demonstrated<br />
strong student data privacy practices in the following areas:<br />
• Leadership, by providing the guidance, frameworks and resources<br />
to direct the use and governance of student data in a manner that is<br />
transparent to all stakeholders.<br />
• Business, by establishing vetting processes and contracts for technology<br />
<strong>March</strong> <strong>2019</strong> | <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong>
providers that, at minimum, address applicable compliance with laws<br />
while supporting innovation.<br />
• Data security, by implementing strong data protection practices across<br />
all media and auditing regularly to maintain high thresholds over time.<br />
• Professional development, by requiring school staff to conduct privacy<br />
and security training and offering related resources to all stakeholders in<br />
the community.<br />
• Classroom, by implementing educational procedures and processes<br />
to ensure transparency and build privacy knowledge while advancing<br />
curricular goals.<br />
As TLE Seal recipients, the designated school districts will be required to<br />
maintain their commitment to improving student data privacy practices<br />
and reapply for the designation every two years. Developed for K-12<br />
school systems of all governance structures, the TLE Seal was formed<br />
through a collective effort from school system leaders nationwide and<br />
program partners. Their input identified steps schools should take in<br />
addition to regulatory compliance to help ensure student data privacy<br />
and security.<br />

Cy-Fair And Cy Woods Earn Sweeps<br />
At District Swimming Championships<br />
The Cypress Woods High School boys’ and girls’ swim teams claimed<br />
the District 18-6A championships for the third year in a row while the<br />
Cy-Fair High School boys’ and girls’ teams swept the District 17-6A titles,<br />
with the meets held Jan. 25 th (17-6A) and Jan. 26 th (18-6A) at the CFISD<br />
Natatorium.<br />
The Cypress Woods boys won with a score of 157, followed by runner-up<br />
Langham Creek (119) and third-place Cypress Springs (69). The Cypress<br />
Woods girls placed first with a score of 220, Jersey Village placed second<br />
with 103 points with Langham Creek placing third with a score 81.<br />
“It was a three-peat, which is really hard to do,” said Chris Pease, Cypress<br />
Woods swim coach. “The target is on your back. The Langham Creek boys<br />
gave us a run for our money on that side and every year, it gets harder to<br />
do this.”<br />
Cypress Woods sophomore Munzer Kabbara was named the 18-6A Boys’<br />
Swimmer of the Meet and Cypress Woods senior Sydney Stanford was<br />
named the Girls’ Swimmer of the Meet for the third year in a row.<br />
In 17-6A, the Cy-Fair girls edged Cypress Creek for the team title. The<br />
Bobcats finished with 146 points, while the Cougars placed second with<br />
143 points. Cypress Ranch scored 90 point to place third.<br />
“We were down a swimmer who was very important and the girls really<br />
stepped up to the plate and did everything they needed to do to win,”<br />
said Hannah Doré, Cy-Fair head coach. “Every race was key, especially<br />
those where we were able to get those sixth-, seventh- and eighth-place<br />
points.”<br />
The Cy-Fair boys scored 163 points to place first, finishing ahead of<br />
runner-up Bridgeland (125.50) and third-place Cypress Ranch (114.50).<br />
“Each race was very exciting to watch for the boys,” said Doré, who was<br />
named the 17-6A Boys’ Coach of the Year. “They worked really hard this<br />
week, especially when it came down to relays because we knew we<br />
weren’t seeded first. We really needed to step up, especially with that<br />
last relay and they did.”<br />
Cy-Fair junior Cameron Dafoe was named the 17-6A Boys’ Swimmer of<br />
the Meet, while Cypress Creek freshman Hayden Miller was named the<br />
17-6A Girls’ Swimmer of the Meet.<br />

• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans<br />
and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, canta<br />
loupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F.<br />
or higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and<br />
watermelon.<br />
LAWN<br />
• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this<br />
part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).<br />

TREES AND SHRUBS<br />
• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible.<br />
In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting<br />
a dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine,<br />
vinca or one of the prostrate junipers.<br />
• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early <strong>March</strong>.<br />
However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they<br />
have bloomed.<br />
• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer<br />
analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square<br />
feet of garden planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to<br />
fertilize landscape plants because you give them food just<br />
before the spring growing season starts.<br />
