Pikesville Police and Community Relations Council to Hear About Homeland Security

The next meeting of Pikesville's PCRC is scheduled for Tuesday, February 28, 2012, at 7 p.m. at the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation and will include an exciting and very informative talk about "Homeland Security" given by Detective Paul Ciepiela.

The meetings are free and are a wonderful way to get together with other members of the Pikesville community who are interested in assisting our police officers in keeping everyone safe. This month's meeting is sure to be stimulating and the "open discussion" after Detective Ciepiela's talk should be extremely interesting.  

Also, Pikesville's PCRC would like to remind and encourage both our members, and residents of Pikesville who are not yet members, to report activity that just does not fit. You can now use the Baltimore County Police Department's web tips form to submit a tip or report suspicious activity to police. Information can be sent from your cell phone, hand-held device, or computer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Additionally, anyone who lives in the Pikesville area can easily become a member of Pikesville's Police Community Relations Council by coming to a meeting (we would love to see you) or by contacting our Director, Jerry D'Antoni via email: j.dantoni@verizon.net. 

Finally, considering the recent issues of daytime theft of copper piping from vacant homes, being vigilant during the daytime hours has become more important than ever. Certainly any strange activity or people hanging around that are not familiar should be reported immediately by calling 911. Also, keeping a special eye out for our neighbors and their homesproperty is always a great idea. If something makes you stop and wonder "should I tell someone?," the answer is a resounding "yes!" Most of us know our neighbors' normal routines even if we aren't close friends, and reporting suspicious activity always makes the area safer for everyone!

Let's all stick together for a better Pikesville, and we hope to see you at the upcoming meeting!
