House Number Project
The house number project is still alive and well. Volunteers will make a sign at no charge for your back fence to comply with city regulations. These numbers make it easier for emergency services to find your residence.
Crime Watch Report
On the first Monday of every month, Crime Watch Patrollers of North College Park meet at The Line on Beltline Road at 6:30PM to go over the crime statistics for the month with our assigned City of Richardson Police Department officer, Raul Reyes. By the way, we would love to include you in that group. Raul almost always reports that we had no criminal activity in North College Park for the month and, in fact, there has been none for the last several months. Raul often reports that our North College Park neighborhood is one of the safest in the city, thanks to our patrollers. Your homeowners must be very happy with those results. We would love to keep that record going but we can only do so with your help. When our area is safe, it improves the quality of life not to mention your property values. Please consider becoming a patroller by contacting Doug Freeman at d1004free@aol.com.
If you are interested in joining the crime patrol group or want to learn more, contact our crime patrol coordinator: Doug Freeman at d1004free@aol.com.

About North College Park Neighborhood Association
NCPNA is a neighborhood association, and unlike a homeowner's association, we do not have any authority over anyone's property. We sponsor activities and projects to help make our neighborhood a more pleasant and safe place to live. Volunteers are always needed, and we look forward to hearing about new ways to achieve our collective goals.
Contact Robert Grinsfelder at rmgrins@aol.com if you can help with any of these activities.
