Anna Crime Watch

As we approach the summer months, I feel it necessary to begin a Weekly Crime Blotter.  Most are familiar with this as it is used by the majority of agencies across the country.  We are growing in Anna and as the city grows, so does the crime.  On a good note, our neighborhood watch groups are becoming more active and we are getting more neighborhoods on board.  If you are not already an active member of your crime watch, I would recommend that you become a member.  Taking this step helps ensure the safety of your neighborhood and also assists the police department in solving crime problems.  If you are in a neighborhood that does not currently have an active crime watch and would like to start one, please go to the police department’s website and click on the “Neighborhood Watch” icon.
