Want to make your neighborhood safer?
The Edgewater Police Department’s Nextdoor Beat Cop Program was selected as one of the top 7 programs in the United States by the Nextdoor selection team for 2017. If you’re concerned about crime in your neighborhood there is no better free program available to us than Neighborhood Watch. Neighborhood Watch coordination is nothing more than getting to know your neighbors and passing along information that the police department provides to you about the calls for service in your specific neighborhood.
Please consider inviting your neighbors to participate in Nextdoor Edgewater and contacting our Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Lorenzo – volunteers@edgewaterpd.com to get more information on Neighborhood Watch and making your neighborhood safer. Working together we can make a difference in deterring crime – thank you!
Thank You Notes from Neighbors – Kudo’s
The Police Department was extremely thankful for all of the support the last few weeks while apprehending the suspects in the murder of Andrew Jenicek. I and many of our staff attended Andrew’s celebration of life and he had a tremendous turnout of family, friends and supporters – his family extends thanks to all!
The Police Department gives a big shout-out to Joel Newton for all of his efforts in seeking donations for our community to provide a dinner gift certificate to officers and their families. Our staff worked upwards of 100 hours weekly to bring that case forward and there will be hundreds of more hours to work evidentiary issues moving forward – thank you!
Thank you to our outstanding police volunteers Frank Kyper, Lorenzo Rendon, Dave Suter, Joel Newton, and Pauline York for the countless hours they are contributing to making our community and city a safer place to live, work and play! Chief Mackey
Neighbor’s notes and “Kudo’s” are placed in the lobby of the police station and placed in the respective officer’s personnel files – thanks for sharing!
