Once again, the Holiday season is fast approaching! During this time, we ask that everyone adhere to the following safety tips:

• Be sure to stop for School Buses and obey the posted speed limit (25 mph) when traversing the neighborhood. Please remember that our neighborhood is not Charlotte Motor Speedway and children are at play.
• Lock your car doors – remember to remove valuable items out of plain sight in your vehicle. The majority of B&E cases are the result of individuals
  leaving valuables in the open or leaving vehicle doors unlocked.
• If you see suspicious activity, please report it to the police (911). For non‐emergency issues, call 311 (CharMeck). In Cabarrus County, call 704‐786‐9155.
• If a streetlight is out in your area, report it to Duke Energy using this link. You can also download their mobile app.
• Receiving a package: Around the holiday season, there are always reports that packages are stolen from porches by “Porch Pirates”. If you’re expecting a delivery and are not going to be home to receive it, let your neighbor know so that they can hold it for you. If that is not an option, have the carrier hold the package until you can pick it up.
• USPS offers a mail holding service. You can learn more about this using the following link.
• Ordering from Amazon? You have the ability to request that your package be left in one of their lockers.
• Be sure to break down boxes and dispose of them properly.

We hope that you all have a safe and happy Holiday season!
