Reminder Neighborhood Meeting this evening at 6:30pm.

EVENT REMINDER TODAY:
Friday 9/22/23 6:30pm
1180-1200 Block Vista Trail
Front Yard Meet & Greet
Followed by Fiddle Friday Music

Hello Woodland Hills residents!
Partially in response to a recent rash of home burglaries, our neighbors Philip & Emily are hosting a Woodland Hills Neighborhood Association - WHNA neighborhood Meet & Greet with representatives of the DeKalb Co. Police Department - DCPD. Afterwards, Philip & Emily will be having one of their famous Fiddle Fridays! The event will be around 1180-1200 block of Vista Trail this coming Friday Sept. 22nd. 

A DCPD presentation, followed by a question & answer period, will start at 6:30pm.  There will also be some time for residents to have some one-on-one time with the officers maybe both before and after the presentations. IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE PLEASE COME ANYWAY. Any presentations will repeat at 7:00 if needed and handouts will still be available.

A few of the subjects we are going to bring up are street / tag reader cameras, the ability to optionally share personal security camera recordings after an intrusion, the structure of a Neighborhood Watch, side street patrols, and joint operations with Atlanta Police in our neighborhood.

Vista Trail is tight for parking so if you can walk that would be great. If you drive please be considerate of our neighbors and keep driveways clear. The weather promises to be great. See you there!

Crime alert – ADT imposter

Jesse Thompson Leave a comment

Dear Residents,

Our friends in the Morningside neighborhood report that a man claiming to be with the ADT home security company has been canvassing Morningside homes, asking questions about homeowners' security systems. The man claims that ADT is out replacing outdated security signs and equipment.

ADT has been called and states that it does not have anything like this happening or scheduled.

Stay alert! If this individual contacts you, call 911, and report him to the police.









WHNA Crime Alert Mailbox Tampering

Jesse Thompson Leave a comment

Dear Residents,

Thanks to our residents for passing on the following email.

" Over the last few days, we have confronted kids who are tampering with mailboxes in the neighborhood. They are in their early teens. We have observed them opening mailboxes and reviewing the contents. We're not sure if they are actually taking the mail because we immediately confront them.

The first time, on Thursday, they simply ran when they were approached. On Saturday, they became combative so we followed them and took pictures. Luckily, there was an APD car patrolling the neighborhood. The officer took immediate action, but the kids ran and were not caught."

Thanks to Perry and Mike for passing on the information.  Be sure to check the links below for more crime updates.

Brad Grullke
President, WHNA
Have a great Labor Day.
