Delaware State Police - Suspicious Vehicle Report‏

Post by huynh_tb »

Cpl. George Camacho is the contact person for the Neighborhood Watch

Programs, Community Crime Prevention Assessments, and Crime Prevention Presentations. You can reach Cpl. Camacho at George.Camacho@state.de.us or call Troop 4 at 856-5850, Ext. 324.

Please annotate this non-emergency number in case you want to report suspicious activity – (302)-855-2980. This number will reach the 911 center, but you will not be tying up the emergency line.

Be on the look-out for a blue or dark colored Nissan bearing Maryland Registration. This vehicle has been observed in communities attempting to open garage doors with a garage door remote controller. Remember that most garage door motors are activated by a radio signal that transmits from a controller. Please change your code configuration on the motor and your remote control. Consult your manual for instructions.

Also, tech savy criminals have discovered a way to clone the security code that you vehicle's key pad emits everytime you press lock. Word of advice is to manual lock your vehicle either with the key or by press the interior door lock switch.

A Checklist for Starting a Neighborhood Watch Program


You Will Need:

  • A person or group of people committed to starting a Neighborhood Watch.
    A planning committee to initiate the program.
    A list of what issues initially need to be addressed in your community.
    A means of communicating with the residents, e-mail, fliers, telephone trees.
    Publicity for the initial Neighborhood Watch meeting.
    A meeting agenda to keep things moving and on track.
    A place to meet-resident’s house or apartment, community center, school, library.
    A crime prevention officer to discuss the crime issues in the neighborhood and to help train members.
    A map of the community with spaces for names, addresses, and phone numbers of all households.
    A sign-up sheet for those interested in becoming block or building captains.
    Brochures or other materials on topics of interest to the residents.


To Add Excitement

  • Mix business with pleasure -allow attendees time to socialize.
    Seek out neighborhood go-getters -civic leaders and elected officials -to be your advocates and mentors.
    Work with such existing organizations as citizens’ association, tenants’ association, or housing authorities.
    Provide speakers on topics of community interest.
    Link crime prevention into activities promoted by other groups: child protection, anti-vandalism projects,
    Start a neighborhood newsletter.


To Build Partnerships

  • The polices’ endorsement is critical to a Watch group’s credibility. These agencies are
    the major sources of information on local crime patterns, crime prevention education, and crime reporting.
    Local businesses and organizations can help provide fliers and a newsletter, offer meeting places, and distribute crime prevention information. Ask an electronics store to donate cellular phones.
    Libraries can provide research materials, videos, computers, and meeting space.
    Media can aid Neighborhood Watches by publicizing recruitment drives.
    Look to volunteer centers, parent groups, and labor unions for advice on recruiting volunteers.
