SOUTH BEND & SAINT JOSEPH COUNTY <br />HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION <br />235-9798 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Thursday, February 21, 2002 <br />TO: Edgewater Neighborhood Association <br />Edgewater Liaison Members <br />HPC Commission Members <br />Exec. Director Rhonda Saunders <br />FROM: Karen R. Hammond -Nash <br />Assistant Director <br />RE: NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME <br />At the Neighborhood Association Meeting Wednesday, Feb. 20, the subject of <br />neighborhood crime came up, and in particular a couple recent home invasions that had <br />not been reported to the police. I understand that the people whose homes had been <br />entered did not call the police, because they did not think much could be done, and did <br />not want to be a bother. The conclusion of the discussion at the neighborhood meeting <br />was that anyone whose home is broken into should call the police. -- <br />I am writing to encourage everyone in Edgewater (or anywhere else) to report gilLcrime, <br />especially something as potentially serious as your home being illegally entered, <br />immediatelv to the police. Those of you who have not immediately reported,, should still <br />do so now. But, in the future, please, please, do call the police the very first instant <br />that you possibly can, after being aware that a crime has been committed against <br />you, your property, or anyone else. <br />For any home invasion case, even an old one, the police will send a detective out in a <br />marked car to collect whatever information he can. <br />The South Bend Police 24-hour general information number is 235-9201, and their <br />address is 701 West Sample Street. <br />If the police have prompt information of a crime, they actually fairly often can find and <br />preserve evidence — such as fingerprints on a door, for instance — that might not be <br />obvious to an untrained person, and they really can capture and convict criminals. I <br />know that there is a perception among some people that the police must actually catch a <br />criminal in the criminal act in order to arrest and prosecute. But the fact is that most of <br />the time the police don't catch criminals in the act, but some time afterwards, based on <br />information collected from objects and witnesses. <br />
