Crime Prevention Tip Received From Peoria PD on December 7, 2011
Peoria PD is experiencing an increase in residential back-flow water valve thefts from occupied homes. Peoria PD is recommending home owners paint the copper pipes and back-flow preventers white.  That way they appear to be the plastic PVC kind, so thieves will pass them up.

The Above Are Our Block Watch Contacts With The Peoria Police Department

Ventana Lakes Block Watch:
Block Watch is a community partnership crime prevention program where residents in a community such as Ventana Lakes work together, and with their local police department to help reduce crime in their neighborhood.

Residents can support Block Watch by getting to know their neighbors, watching out for each other, serving as the eyes and ears of the community, and reporting any suspicious activity to the Police Department.  Block Watch supporters do not confront people or put themselves into potentially dangerous situation.  Block Watch supporters do become active partners with the police by watching each other's homes and calling the police  to help reduce crime in our community.
