Collierville Night Out, Celebrating
Neighborhood Watch
The communities of Bartlett,
Collierville and Germantown
have agreed to change the date for National Night Out for 2008 to the first
Tuesday in October. This year, The National Organization, is testing this
date and will probably adopt it nationwide beginning in 2009.
Therefore for the year 2008 Collierville will celebrate its
Night Out on Tuesday October 7th. This will provide us with
much cooler weather and it will not interfere with school registration as it has
in the past. Start planning your neighborhood parties now. You can
register your party now on-line at http://www.colliervillepolice.org.
You can register with us so that we can visit your group that evening.
If you have any questions regarding this new date please call Lt. David Townsend
at 457-2560 or Lt. Norm Dixon at 901-457-2571.
This year for the rest of the country, the date remains
August 5th and this is the 25th Anniversary of the event.
Citizens of Collierville can still recognize this by turning your porch lights
on from 7 to 9 PM on the 5th of August. We encourage you to
spread the word in your community and join this celebration as well.
We are excited about our new date in October. It is
expected that many more communities will be able to participate than before.
This event is to raise the awareness of crime prevention and the effectiveness
of neighborhoods working together. We hope to see you in October.
Collierville Police Alert Service
Collierville Police Offer New Program to promote a closer relationship with
Town businesses, churches, and neighborhood watch groups
The Collierville Police Department in its efforts to work more closely with
our Town of Collierville churches, businesses, and neighborhood watch groups has
created the Collierville Police Alert Service. Our goal is to promote stronger
communication and interaction between your Police Department and each of these
groups.
The concept is simple and easy to use. The Collierville Police Department
will maintain a list of church, business, and neighborhood watch representatives
from those participating in the service and will distribute through those
representatives information from the latest crime trends in Collierville that
could potentially be relevant and/or affect their organizations, to updates on
events and activities at the Collierville Police Department. These
representatives will receive email notifications when certain crimes occur close
to their businesses, churches, or subdivisions, along with maintaining an open
line of communication between our organizations to ensure high levels of service
by Officers in our community.
With this type of information sharing, it is the belief of the Collierville
Police Department that we can work closely with these groups through the
C.P.A.S. program to better serve the community as a whole.
“The Collierville Police Department is excited about the alert program and
the potential positive impact that it could have on the community. It also
affords the department the opportunity to accomplish one of the Board of Mayor
and Alderman’s goals of better communications between the Town and the citizens.
Please join us in our efforts to make Collierville a safe community in which to
live, work or play”. –Collierville Chief of Police L.E. Goodwin

New Form to assist those in need.
The Collierville Police Department, working
in conjunction with Collierville Fire and Rescue, would like to remind all
citizens of Collierville that through the Police Department website, you can
complete a special form for you and/or your family members that may have
limitations or impairments, which will assist us in providing service to those
individuals in the event an emergency, such as a fire or other critical
situation requiring response for our departments.
The form, which can be completed online at
www.colliervillepolice.org, is designed for individuals with physical
limitations such as visual and hearing impairments, non-ambulatory, or other
specific cases, to help us better assist those individuals in the event we are
dispatched to their residence.
The information will be stored,
confidentially, in our dispatch center so when public safety personnel are
dispatched to a residence involving an individual who has completed this form,
the on-scene safety personnel will be better prepared and informed on the
occupants of the residence and any specific limitations that could be relevant
in helping our departments make the most appropriate and effective response.
Once an individual has completed the online
form, it will be reviewed by a staff member, and in turn, those individuals will
be contacted to confirm that their information has been received and entered
into the program.
--The hope is through this program we can
work more closely with our citizens that might have certain limitations to
ensure the level of service provided by both our
agencies continues to be at the highest level, Assistant Chief Jeff Abeln.
--This type of program really benefits our
dispatchers in knowing more specifics about certain residences and helping us
provide the best response when communicating with the safety personnel on the
scene,
Dispatcher Rebekah Burgess
--We have really tried to enhance this
program, making it as efficient and citizen friendly as possible,
Lt. David Townsend.

can contact the department Public Relations Office,
Lt. David Townsend at 457-2560.
