| TRINITY VILLAGE'S NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH CRUISER |
|
 |
|
Incident Update: June/July 2009 There have been several near accidents with golf carts and ATV vehicles in the Village. These included:
golf carts on the wrong side of the road with near head ons; golf carts racing with numerous children hanging on to each
cart; spin outs, veering off the road, etc. Reminder that the vehicle code does not allow such vehicles (even if driven by
adult licensed drivers) on our county roads here in the Village. Our fire department dreads the day that they will have to
respond to an accident with serious injuries and or potential fatalities of children.
A break in burglary
was also reported within the Village. The Trinity County Sheriff's Office took a report. Remember to secure all windows
and doors and have someone ( a neighbor or Neighborhood Watch members) check on your property while you are away.
Incident Update: January 5, 2008
Over the past 2 weeks there have been reports of heavy gauge shots fired within the Village. The Sheriff's office took
a report on December 22, 2007 at around 9:30 p.m. from a citizen on Madrone Lane who had his wife hide in their hallway due
to the close proximity of the shots.
Tuesday October 9, 2007 high winds severed a tree at the entrance of Lone Pine causing a downed power line and loss of
power to some of the residences in the Village. The Hawkins Bar Volunteer Fire Department blocked off the road due to the
hazard and notified PG&E.
As of October 1, 2007 the Sheriff's Report has logged in 3 thefts of marijuana plants and/or tops of plants from the Hawkins
Bar area. Numerous reports of gunshots within the vacinity of the Village were also reported.
On Thursday March 22, a Hawkins Bar resident was arrested by the Trinity County Sheriff's office along with Federal Drug
Enforcement agents after a search warrant found a large amount (30 pounds) of marijuana along with some cocaine and hashish.
On Friday January 26, a Village resident reports to the Neighborhood Watch that his storeage shed was entered and rifled
through. He also reported that screws were removed from his screen door at the rear of his house.
Kudos to our Neighborhood Watch Patrol!!
When patrolling the Village January 15th Audrey and Kent Brown spotted a major water break at a residence. They reported
it to Neighborhood Watch coordinator Gary Standley and fellow patroler Vince Freemantle who shut off the water main at the
residence. Yesterday (January 14th) Vince also spotted another water line break at another Village residence and shut off
the water there also.
On Monday January 1, 2007, the Trinity Sheriff's Department reports that a man reported that his intoxicated neighbor
was shooting a shotgun and that the shot was landing in his yard.
On Thursday November 2nd, the Trinity Sheriff's Department reports that a Village resident said his neighbor came into
his yard and took his marijuana plants.
In October two 911 callers reported gunshots and large, sky-burst fireworks northeast of Trinity Village. The barrage
continued over a period of 30 minutes or so.
An attempted break in at a residence in the Village was also reported to the Neighborhood Watch in October.
Over the past few months a car and a truck were stolen in the Village. Both vehicles were recovered. However, the car
was totaled. The thieves have not been caught. An attempted theft of another vehicle was reported about the same time as the
theft of the truck

TVIA's Neighborhood Watch
The Hawkins Bar/Trinity Village Neighborhood Watch is supported and sponsored by your TVIA dues and is part of the Trinity
County Sheriff's Department and under the supervision of Undersheriff Eric Palmer. The specific purpose of the citizen patrol
is the prevention of crime in Trinity County. The Neighborhood Watch Program uses public outreach and education by training
and operating volunteer teams to assist law enforcement. All volunteers are subject to a background check by the Sheriff's
office. These volunteers patrol neighborhoods, make home and business security checks,traffic or special event control, or
similar duties as may be requested by law enforcement agencies. They are the extended "eyes and ears" of law enforcement,
providing information to assist crime reduction efforts in their neighborhoods in Trinity County.
Since 2005, our Neighborhood Watch Patrol has grown from 2 to 15 members. In addition to Gary and Nancy Standley, fellow
patrollers are Rogene Rawlins, Carol Draper, Naomi Hunt, Vince and Anita Freemantle, Audrey and Kent Brown, Diana Lynn, Mary
Brown, Ron Wermes, Gary and Charlotte Dodson, and Dorothy Fullam. You can see the "cruiser" patrolling around at various times.
Say hello and let them know if you have any concerns, want them to do vacation checks on your home, or if there is a need
for a welfare check on someone who is elderly or ill. Working as a team for the betterment of our neighborhood is their goal.
If you would like to discuss this, get information, or become a volunteer patroller contact Gary Standley (629-2415).
