Update on NWC

Thank you to all that showed up for the NW meeting last week. We hoped there would have been more residents at the meeting as one of the ways to best prevent crime in our neighborhood is for everyone to do their part. Officer Nida, a Fairfax County Crime Prevention Officer, spoke about crime in the area and how to best protect yourself from becoming a victim. This information can be found in fliers and handouts available for free at the Franconia Government Center on Franconia Road

Officer Nida stressed it is up to neighbors to do their part to stay safe.
· Know your neighbors – when they are in town, type of cars they drive.
· Be observant
· Write it down
· Carry a cell
· Do not approach
· Call police

When in doubt – call the police – they want all the calls they can get. When many calls with in with bits and pieces of information it can be like puzzle pieces building the scene.
