Last Updated  - 14 March 2008 Published by: Officer Al Ward Patrol North Community Policing 3015 E. 21st, Wichita KS. 67214 Work: 688-9500 / Fax: 688-9326  E-mail: award@Wichita.gov     _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Community Activity      Hello residents of 46 beat.    I want to break this section down into two sections, New News and Old News.  There are some things that are new I need to pass along but there are some old things that are still relevant and I will leave them on the site for another month.  Generally I will leave information the site for two months and then change it.  If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments please feel free to contact me.   NEW BUSINESS!!!!   Car Windows Shot Out   During the last couple of months, 46 beat has experienced a rash of car windows being broken out by either a high powered BB/Pellet Riffle or a high powered sling shot.  Individuals have been going throughout the neighborhood and shooting rear and side windows.  There has been a great deal of damage to vehicles and pocket books.  So far officers nor detectives have a real suspects in the cases but we are following up on several leads that look very promising.  I hope to report to you soon that we have caught those responsible.  For now may I suggest parking your vehicles in your driveway instead of on the street.  The reason is most of the windows shot out were on vehicles parked on the street in front of the home.   If you have any information on any crime please contact police either thru crime stoppers, 911 or myself.  If the crime is in progress please call 911 and be an excellent witness.   What Happened To The News!!!   Starting around Dec. 24th of last year thru Feb.1st of this year the city has experienced approx. 23 newspaper stand thefts.  We have been able to get two descriptions of persons possibly involved and we are asking for your help.    The first description is of a 25 year old white male who is driving a small red pick up truck which looks like a Ford Ranger.  He uses bolt cutters, cuts the cable, throws the whole stand in the rear of the truck, and then drives off.  The second description is of again a 25 year old white male who is working with a white female of approx. the same age.  She is approx 5'4" in height and has long hair.  They are driving a black or maroon Chevy Tahoe with side by side rear doors and not the lift gate.  They also carry bolt cutters and are cutting the cable and stealing the whole stand.    If you have any information please contact police investigations at 316-268-4407.     The Church Isn't Even Immune to Theft!  What's Next?   Here is a copy of a flier that has recently been handed out to area churches in regards to recent auto larcenies taken place in their parking lots.  One of the larcenies was on 46 beat at the Calvary Church located at 2525 N. Rock Rd.  WICHITA POLICE DEPARTMENT PARKING LOT SAFETY TIPS There have been a number of church parking lot thefts where individuals have had their vehicles broken into and personal items stolen. The Wichita Police Department encourages you to use the following safety tips to proactively address this issue. Secure all vehicle doors and activate alarm if vehicle is equipped. Do not leave packages or valuables in plain view. Place any necessary items in the trunk if possible. DO NOT leave keys in the ignition with the vehicle unattended. Do not leave the garage door remote in plain view Have someone check the parking lot for any suspicious activity and report it to 911 if observed.   Assist us by being the best witness you can. Be observant and provide the information listed below. DO NOT attempt to intervene.   If possible note the race, age, sex, height, weight, hair color and type of clothing worn by the suspect or suspects. Note the make, model, tag number and color of the vehicle they are driving. At night, you may only be able to say the car was (large, medium, small) in size and a (2 door or 4 door). Note if there is anything unusual about the car such as decals, body damage, rust damage, tinted windows, or loud muffler.     Patrol North Bureau 3015 E. 21st Wichita, KS 67214 Phone: 688-9500 Website: www.wichita.gov       Neighborhood Watch   There is a big push by the city to establish neighborhood watches in as many neighborhoods as possible.  I have been tasked with finding neighborhoods that would like to establish a watch and helping them get started.  If you would like to get a neighborhood watch started in your block or you would like to know what a neighborhood watch is, please feel free to contact me and we will work together to get it going.  We have all of the material you need to get started, we will even give the presentation to your neighbors, provide invitations and other materials needed, monitor your progress and provide follow-up assistance if needed.  Basically all you have to do is express an interest and we will come and help you do the rest.  If you have an interest contact me via e-mail or phone at 688-9500.          I have had this on our site for months now but it keeps happening everyday!!  Please Read and take the appropriate action to protect you and your loved ones.   Identity Theft   You can view a report complied by The Federal Trade Commission online at:  http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft   Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America.  It effects each and every one of us whether directly, we are the victims of identity theft, or indirectly through higher prices companies have to charge to regain loss profit.  While we probably can't prevent identity theft entirely, you can minimize your risk by managing your personal information wisely, cautiously and with an awareness of the issue.  You can help guard against identity theft:   Before you reveal any personally identifying information, find out how it will be used and whether it will be shared with others.  Ask if you have a choice about the use of your information: can you choose to have it kept confidential? Pay attention to billing cycles.  Follow up with creditors if your bills don't arrive on time. Guard your mail from theft.  Deposit outgoing mail in post office collection boxes or at your local post office.  Promptly remove mail from your mailbox after it has been delivered.  If you plan on being away from home and can't pick up your mail, call the U.S. Postal Service at 1-800-275-8777 to request a vacation hold. Put passwords on your credit card, bank and phone accounts.  Avoid using easily available information like you mother's maiden name, your birth date, the last four digits of you SSN or your phone number, or a series of consecutive numbers. Minimize the identification information and the number of cards you carry to what you'll actually need. Don't give out personal information on the phone, through the mail or over the Internet unless you have initiated the contact or know whom you're dealing with. Keep items with personal information in a safe place. Be cautious about where you leave personal information in your home, especially if you have roommates, employ outside help or are having service work done in your home. Find out who has access to you personal information at work and verify that the records are kept in a secure location. Give you SSN only when absolutely necessary.  Ask to use other types of identifiers when possible. Don't carry your SSN card; leave it in a secure place. Order a copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus every year. You can order them together at www.AnnualCreditReport.com or by calling 1-877-322-8228.   Helpful Numbers to Remember Wichita Police Department Community Affairs  -  268-4101 Triad Council Mental Health Association  -  685-1821 ext. 297 Emergency Reporting – 911 D.
