Crime Watch

We still need to get the word out! We currently only have about 30 homes (that's about 28%)contact information. The goal is get as many people talking and involved as we can. The more we communicate the stronger our neighborhood will become. Not just for crime but for all issues we may face - (gas leases,the park, litter, drainage, mud from new construction ...)

Please get the word out

So talk to your neighbors and tell them what we are doing and invite them to join us on this online community.

About our association

Owlcreek Estates Neighborhood Watch

Welcome,
What Are the Goals of our Neighborhood Crime Watch?

1. To increase awareness of the crime of burglary and other property crimes
2. To implement various safety and residential security strategies to make homes more secure and less likely to be targeted.
3. To help neighbors recognize signs of suspicious and criminal activity and to report them to police.
4. To implement Operation Identification to deter burglary. Operation ID is advantageous to the return of stolen property and may help police solve cases.
5. To develop and utilize a communication network within the neighborhood for the purposes of informing neighbors of criminal and suspicious activity and other neighborhood-oriented concerns.

What is Operation Identification?

Operation ID is a property identification procedure that assists police in the return of recovered property in the event of a theft or burglary. It is highly recommended by Insurance companies as well.


It involves:

1. Inventory List: neighbors are instructed on how to create an inventory list by recording the make, model and serial number of their valuables.
2. Photographs: Take pictures of your valuables, especially jewelry, artwork and collectables.

As an additional step:
3. Police highly recommend marking your property with your Texas Driver’s License number (example: TX 1234567) Electric engravers with an adjustable tip are perfect for marking tools, electronics, bicycles etc. Place the mark near the serial number or in a visible location that could be seen by a police property technician.

DO NOT mark on firearms, antiques, artwork or collectables.
Artwork & Prints: record the artist’s name, print number, and print size on your
Inventory sheet.

Make two (2) copies of your Inventory List and photos. Store one copy in a safe place in the home and a second copy outside the home (your safe deposit box, at work or with family member)

I have attached a link below to the Arlington PD that details this process.
