Crime prevention is the practice
of identifying and removing the
opportunity for crime to occur.
Download these Crime Watch Tips
for more information.
Crime Patrols:
Creek Hollow has an active Crime
Patrol that canvases the
neighborhood on a regular basis
to help watch for suspicious
persons and activities. If you
have an hour or two a month and
can help with this activity
please contact
Creek Hollow
Crime Watch Committee Chair.
If you are planning a trip and
would like for the Crime Patrol
to pay closer attention to any
activity around your home while
you are away, please email crimepatrol@creekhollow.net.

Crime Watch Program:
Our community is striving to get
global participation in crime
watch activities in order to get
to know our neighbors better and
to make our community safer. We
would like to get a crime watch
captain on each street in our
community to organize events and
meetings. Below is a list of our
current crime watch captains.

The
following types of
solicitors MUST have
applied for, and been
granted, a permit by the
City of Richardson
before they can do this
job:
-
Door
to door
solicitations
-
Place
handbills or flyers
on doors
-
Charitable
solicitation in a
roadway
Those exempt include religious organizations, charitable organizations going door to door, and kids doing fundraisers for school and other organizations such as Scouts.

 |
The interesting aspect here is that every solicitor even the guys that put flyers on your door MUST have a permit predominately shown when doing this job. See the example of a permit that should be displayed on the person soliciting. This permit may be white or bright yellow.
If someone is soliciting (even
the flyer guy) without such a
permit, the Richardson Police
should be notified. The Richardson Police run a full background check on these people in order to prevent criminals with a record or pedophiles from having easy access to our neighborhoods and homes.
The Police emphasized that we do not confront the solicitor, but wait for them to leave and immediately contact the Police. They want to avoid any possible case of retaliation or anything that would put us in danger.
If you feel uncomfortable dialing 9-1-1, then just contact the Richardson Police on their main number which is 972-744-4800.
