Last Updated:  January 9th, 2012   A monthly community information newsletter for residents of 13 beat.   Officer Robyn Douty #2032 Patrol West Community Policing 661 N. Elder, Wichita KS. 350-3460 rdouty@wichita.gov     Hello my name is Officer Robyn Douty.  I have worked 13 beat in the past as a beat officer and look forward to working wth you in the future.  If you have any questions you can reach me at rdouty@wichita.gov or call me at 337-9126 or 350-3460.   Wichita Auto Theft Crime Trends The crime trend the Auto Theft Section is experiencing in Wichita is the theft of these four top vehicles: Chevy, Honda, Ford, and Dodge vehicles. As of February 8th of 2011, there have been 43 Auto Thefts involving vehicles left unattended while warming up. 1,849 vehicles were reported stolen in 2009. 636 vehciles were recovered. 1141 cases were assigned to five Detectives in the Auto Theft Section for follow-up investigation. 377 cases were charged and 143 cases were cleared by arrest.   Stolen vehicles can be used for a short joyride, stripped for parts, involved in hit and run accidents, or kept longer to commit other crimes.     General Cold Weather Tips: Stolen vehicles increase drastically because people leave them running to warm them up. If you must warm up your car, consider these ideas: Make sure you have a spare key and lock the vehicle. Put on the emergency brake to confuse a would-be thief. Keep an eye on the vehicle the whole time. Do not do chores around the house while the vehcile is warming up. Watch for any people or strange vehicles parked in your area. They might be waiting for someone to leave their car running. Don't let that someone be you. Call 911 to have suspicious persons/vehicles checked out. THEFT FROM VEHICLES This is a crime of opportunity, and in most cases the victim is providing the opportunity. Thieves are watching! This type of crime takes literally seconds to commit. Let's not give these criminals the opportunity. Removing the valuables from your vehicle can greatly decrease your chances of being a victim. Here’s a test: Do you have any of these top stolen items in your car right now? Purse GPS Unit Wallet IPOD Laptop Cell Phone GARAGE DOOR OPENERS! Leaving these items in plain view increases your chances of being a victim. Other things to do to reduce your chances of being a victim are to park in well lit areas at night if possible, lock your doors, roll up all your windows, and be aware of surroundings.   If you are going out of town, please call Patrol West at 350-3460 and ask for a vacation watch for your home, or send your information in via email from the "Vacation Home Watch" link on our WPD webpage.  We will get some basic information and then put it on the 14 beat intelligence hub for all officers to see. When patrol time allows, officers will drive by your property. Also, get to know your neighbors and ask them to watch your property and call 911 if they see anything suspicious. Have your mail service and newspaper delivery suspended by contacting the post office and your paper carrier. When newspapers and mail begin to pile up it sends a loud signal to criminals that you are not home making you an easy victim.   The mission of the Wichita Police Department is to provide professional and ethical public safety services in partnerships with citizens to identify, prevent and solve the problems of crime, fear of crime, social disorder and neighborhood decay, thereby improving the quality of life in our community.   The above sign is available from the Wichita Police Department for $21.76.  This sign is the same size as a vehicle license plate turned sideways and is perfect for businesses that have patrons and customers that need that little extra reminder to not leave items visible in their vehicles, not leave their keys in their cars, and to lock their cars.  If you are interested in purchaisng a sign or other crime prevention information please call me at 337-9126.        The McCormick Neighborhood Association    2010 Board Members President:  Clyde Jones Vice President: Mary Throckmorton Secretary:  Lana Jones Treasurer:  Cheryl Claybrook There will be a McCormick Neighborhood Clean-up project on April 28th 2012 (tentatively scheduled).
