String of Burglaries in Patchogue Perps Arrested
In an earlier email I was a bit concerned about what was reported as a string of burglaries in our village. Finally the good news was published in the Long Island Press; the Burglars were caught.

There was also a Car break-in, a Home Burglary, and an attempted Home Burglary in our Neighborhood Watch area. The attempted Home burglary was foiled by one of our neighborhood watch member. The burglary in our area could have been part of the crime spree!

Last night a suspicious character was reported looking into cars on Northridge St. A report was called in and the authorities addressed the situation.

A few other neighbors have been voicing concern, but the situation appears to be under control. As a Neighborhood Watch member you must not hesitate to call either 911, or the Patchogue Public Safety at 475 1225; depending on the situation. If we continue to report problems, the problems will stay under control.

Complacency is a disease that triggers the demise of a community! Keep the calls coming to 911 (Police) or 475 1225 (Patchogue Public Safety)

A Prominent Community Figure, who by virtue of his job, is intimately connected with the problems of our area, reports that our crime statistic is just about the same as it has always been. This comes as a relief! Although choosing to remain anonymous, this individual does indeed deserve and command our respect!

Our area is now served by a new part of the Mainstream media, that follows the new model for journalism; disseminating news; that is local to a single area. Patchogue Patch disseminates news exclusive to the Patchogue area.

At first I was upset with "Patchogue Patch," because they published the Police Blotter. I am not an advocate of hanging one's dirty laundry out of a front window; but time and observation has caused me to change my perception of this new publication!

As mentioned earlier in this article, complacency is the real enemy! I now feel that it is important for our community to be aware of new problems!

Please read the latest edition of Patchogue Patch. As published in the "Patch," two other burglars that operated in our area, were also brought to justice.

The picture is clear; open reporting has increased awareness. It is also evident that our Fifth Precinct has been doing a great job, keeping the criminal element under control. Please click the Long Island Press Link at the top of this page.

I must also stress the importance of "the eyes and ears" of Patchogue Public Safety. I personally feel that we wouldn't be able to live here in Patchogue without the contribution of our Public Safety Officers.

Please read and support Patchogue Patch; a welcome addition to our community.
