Give us a hand: Be the eyes and ears of the Village

'If You See Something, Say Something'

     There have been several incidents of vandalism on campus this past week, primarily in the unpopulated areas west of Pryor Rd.

     Our public safety department has a long-standing partnership with the Lee’s Summit Police Department and we work closely with them when this sort of thing happens – which, thanks to this working partnership, is not very often.  And, of course, we have the ongoing advantage of having our own security force right here on campus.

     But we also have thousands of additional eyes and ears at the Village in our residents and associates, and we are asking each of you to help us in our work to keep the Village safe and crime-free.

When you see something unexpected – call!

     “We do have active patrols moving about the Village and staying visible throughout the day and night, but our officers can’t be everywhere all of the time,” said Director of Public Safety, Craig Faith. You can help us out by staying aware of your surroundings and the comings and goings of people around you.

     If you see something unusual or unexpected – something that just doesn’t feel right – call Public Safety and let them know. “We would rather have extra calls and check them out than to find out after an incident occurs that people saw something that made them uneasy but didn’t tell us,” said Brian Opoka, Public Safety manager. Please stay on the line after you tell the dispatcher what you have seen, so they can ask additional questions after they send the security officers to investigate.
