What makes a good community is neighbours who
look out for each other. This is a great place
to live and bring up our children. Let’s keep it that way!
ADVICE
ON REDUCING CRIME AND INCREASING SAFETY
1. Report
suspicious activity
If you see any suspicious activity or unusual behaviour around neighbouring
homes or on the street, call the police.
-
For EMERGENCY dial 911
-
For NON EMERGENCY call Police at 33 division 416- 808-3300.
Give
the police as many details as possible, i.e. description(s) of person(s)
involved, license plate number(s), colour-make-model etc.
2. Stopping
House Break-Ins
There are certain
weaknesses in houses which increase the risk of break-ins. The Neighbourhood
Watch Committee has attended a security seminar with the Police Dept.
in which these weaknesses and ways to eliminate them have been pointed
out. There are products available to help with this, if interested contact
BVA via e-mail: Bayviewvill@bayviewvillage.org
3. Traffic
and Pedestrian Safety
Traffic, speed, and failure to stop at stop signs have increased dramatically
in Bayview Village. The Police will be constantly monitoring traffic in
the Village. PLEASE develop the habit of obeying all speed limits and
stop signs. Also, more and more residents are walking on the wrong side
of the street. Where there are no sidewalks PLEASE walk on the LEFT side,
so you can see what traffic is coming and take precautions if necessary.
4. House
Numbers and Emergency Situations
It is important for emergency services such as FIRE, AMBULANCE and POLICE,
that HOUSE NUMBERS SHOULD BE EASILY VISIBLE FROM THE STREET DURING THE
DAY OR NIGHT. Otherwise delays in service can occur and this could be
costly when lives are at stake. House numbers should be large enough and
placed in a well lit area in front of the house.
If you
have any suggestions as to how we can improve the safety of our neighborhood,
please forward to us at our E-Mail address: Bayviewvill@bayviewvillage.org
