Subject: Citizen Emergency Response Training (CERT)
I have attended the below CERT class and it is great. Please pass on the below information to your Watch Members and friends. There is still room in the class.
The City of Colorado Springs, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is urging citizens to take time now to prepare for possible emergencies. Winter weather in the Colorado Springs area can be unpredictable. History shows that conditions can very quickly turn dangerous with ice, strong winds and heavy snow. Now is the time to prepare and a great time to ask the question, “Am I ready?”
The Colorado Springs Office of Emergency Management is offering a free two-day Citizen Emergency Response Training (CERT) class on January 22 and 23. The class will be held at the Fire Department Complex, 375 Printers Parkway, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
CERT provides comprehensive training in disaster preparedness and response. Through classroom learning and hands-on training, participants will learn how to help themselves, their families and their neighbors during and immediately following a disaster. Topics covered include disaster preparedness; disaster medical assistance; light search and rescue; fire safety; terrorism and disaster psychology. This course does not offer certification in CPR or first aid. Citizens must know how to be self-sufficient during the first critical 72 hours immediately following any type of disaster, whether natural or human-caused. CERT is designed to fulfill those needs.
Online registration forms and additional class dates are available through the Office of Emergency Management’s website at www.springsgov.com.

I am so sorry that I have been quiet for so long. Many things going on and much that takes me away from the office lately.
I had mentioned to some groups that I had recently spoken to that the Crime Prevention officer in the Falcon division was being deployed to Afghanistan . His position was not going to be replaced and I was absorbing all NW groups and business watch groups east of I25. As of yesterday, those plans have changed and an officer will be assigned that spot. Whew! There is still a distinct possibility that the Falcon division may close in 2011 but the budget deficit is still being researched. I will try to keep you abreast of impacting changes. Block Captains: the quarterly meetings for April are the 16th and the 22nd here at Stetson Hills division at 6:30pm. There are still two more opportunities in July and October as well as the citywide Block Captains meeting on July 15th. If you have another member come in your stead, please let me know so you get credit! Also you will notice that I have attached the weekly statistics for the city.
Street lights
Many Block Captains have called to complain that their street lights were being or had been shut off. There are many more that have been marked. The light poles are marked with an orange tape. The city has started the “adopt a street light” program and many in Stetson Hills have stepped forward, with their neighbors, to adopt their street lights. Regardless, I want to remind everyone how important it is to keep you home front and back porch lights on. It not only will illuminate areas for you to see if you look out but will allow your neighbors to view your front and back doors also. Remember, criminals are like roaches, they thrive in the darkness till the light comes on. Then they scatter. It’s not an absolute. The heaviest cost is $90. per year (per my Utilities contact) to run both light 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Home Invasions
For a long time now, most home invasions we were called to were criminal on criminal activities. (Meaning that drug dealers and gang members were preying on each other) Now we are seeing a trend where older residents in homes and apartment complexes are having their doors forced open when they open the front door to greet strangers. Ascertain who is at your door before you open it! Look out the peep hole or a window that views the front. Check IDs. The person can show those without you opening the door through the peephole or window. If they are trying to intimidate you into opening the door and you are scared, call the police 911. Keep your doors locked with the deadbolt AND the handle lock. It will give you time to run and seek shelter or run from the house. Keep a mobile phone with you. Remember it is YOUR house! Alert your neighbors immediately by telephone if something just feels weird. You may keep someone from becoming a victim!
Car break ins
We are still seeing patterns where cars are being entered either through unlocked doors or by breaking windows. Keep everything of value out of sight. Do not leave a garage door opener on the visor or tucked into a console. Burglars will take that and check for a copy of your registration in the glove box. Now they have your address and a way to get into the house as many residents do not lock the door between the garage and the home. A worst case scenario is that the thief will wait until you are home and enter the home while you are asleep. Keep all GPS units out of site and if you can, take down the carrier device. Thieves can take that device and press “go home” and the device will take them straight to your front door. Protect your self and your belongings. Write down the serial number, make, and model of that device if you haven’t already, in case it is stolen.
Robberies
There has been a sharp increase in Personal and business robberies in Colorado Springs in the last few months. The Robbery Unit has been doing a phenomenal job in clearing many of these and thus reducing the day to day count we were experiencing. Be aware of your surroundings. It is harder to sneak up on someone who is paying attention to who is around them and where they are. Look first into a business before you enter. If the clerk’s hands are up in the air and there is a person who looks like they are holding a weapon…..it might be a robbery. I know all of our lives are busy but taking just a few minutes to study people and where you are, can pay off! Park your car under a streetlight or parking lot light if you will be there after dark and try not to walk alone into a huge parking lot by yourself.
Thank you all for being involved in Neighborhood Watch. With dwindling resources and manpower, your eyes and ears are valuable and so is your communication. This year I need all Neighborhood Watches to gather their neighbors at least twice. National Night out is Aug. 3rd this year and would be a great opportunity to do that. When you have a meeting or gathering, please email me the date and how many came so I can annotate that to the database. Have a great week!

Block captains please pass on the below message to all of your participants. I have also attached the weekly statistics for all areas. It is a worthwhile reminder.
An active Neighborhood Watch is vital!
Neighborhood Watch is neighbors watching out for neighbors. You live in your neighborhoods and will know sooner than others what is suspicious and doesn't seem normal or right. Resist that urge to believe that “some one else” will make that call. As a member of Neighborhood Watch, you are actively looking for the abnormal or unusual. You are the first line of defense where you live!
You are willing to contact your neighbors to alert them. You are willing to contact the police department when the activity is happening so that officers have the best chance to catch a criminal. If the activity is not reported then the police do not know something has happened. Criminals will get the message that it is safe for them to victimize others because their activities are not seen or reported. With the ever decreasing levels of officers on patrol, it is more vital now than ever that you watch and report activity. Let people know you are watching. You may be the next victim.
Make yourself a harder target.
1- Do a property inventory if you have not done one yet and keep it updated. A property inventory is an itemized list of your possessions along with the brand names, model numbers, and serial numbers of those items. Items that do not have identification numbers can have an identifying mark or symbol etched or written on it as a personal identifier. This is not to done on antiques or other items whose values will be effected by alterations from original make. Record your household items also with a digital camera or a movie camera so you can prove you own what you say you own. Keep this inventory list in a fire safe box or in another area where you would be able to retrieve it if you do become a victim. It will help tremendously when you are the victim of a burglary, a house fire, or a natural disaster. Make sure your property insurance is up to date whether you are a home owner or a renter. Depending on your policy, you may need more insurance to cover high price items, antiques, or firearms. If you have completed a property inventory, I have stickers you can put on your front and rear doors to let others know you have done this.
2 - Make sure you are locking those doors and windows! Use all locks available and re enforce those deadbolts by replacing the standard screws with 3" screws in the strike plates.
3 - Let a trusted neighbor know when you will be out of town and arrange for all mail and newspapers to be picked up daily.
4 - Create a buddy system. An elderly neighbor may need someone to check in with them every once in a while. This works for any age. Three or four neighbors next to each other can network to know work schedules, appointments, vacations, normal family activity, etc. When a door to door salesperson or stranger comes to the door, the neighbors can now start calling to check on that residence by calling the best phone number for the job. Many have cell phones to take with them when they are away. When you don’t see someone throughout the day; the neighbor is ill or things are unusually quiet, you can call to check their welfare. A neighbor may have a disability, whether permanent or temporary, that would benefit from a kind neighbor assisting them with chores such as snow removal or cutting grass.
“Neighbors working together towards a greater Good” That is what neighborhood watch is. Neighborhood Watch is not about a street sign. It is not about a faster response from the police department. It is about taking care of what you have invested time and money into and helping others. It will in turn help you.
With the holidays approaching, there is an increased risk of burglaries. Pay attention to you surroundings. Ask for ID from ANY person who comes to your door to sell you anything, and don’t open the door till you know and confirm who they are. A person who comes to your home screaming for help may still be setting you up to become a victim of a crime when you open the door. Call 911, look outside by using a window, keep those outside lights on at the front door and back door, and stay in communication with the 911 operator once you have called until the emergency has ended and emergency personnel have arrived. You never know.

Quite a few people have asked me to send out the County Assessor ’s site link. It is a public access website.
Most people don’t know their property schedule number. It is not needed. The database allows you to search by name and street also. Search your own address or last name.
Scroll down to “Tax entity and Levy Information” The “estimated property tax information” is highlighted in blue. Click on that and you will see a breakdown of not only what you are paying in total for 2009 but who is getting what. By far, the school districts are getting the lion’s share of that collected tax and not the city.
“Parcel maps” will show you the configuration of your property and allow you to zoom in and out. This can be handy (and more accurate) than a traditional map.
You can view zoning codes and sometimes there will also be a picture of your house that is viewable. I understand that this is put on there by realtors, but that is not confirmed. Interesting what is out there, huh? Have a great week!

Hi Neighbors,
Just a quick note to inform you on the functions of one of the most important operation in our City - the 911 System. I had the opportunity to attend a Block Captain's meeting at Sand Hill Division at the invitation of their Officer Lori Torreni where an individual from the 911 Emergency Response Team presented a very informative briefing on the System. I have provided a brief summary of the briefing as an attachment. If you have any questions on my report, please get back to me. Have a great summer,

Neighborhood Watch Block Captain Meeting, Sand Creek Division |
|
July 7, 2009 |
|
At the invitation of the Sand Creek Crime Prevention Officer (CPO) Lori Torrini to all area Block Captains, 1 attended an informational briefing on July 6 on "How 911 Works". The briefing was part of a regularly scheduled quarterly Block Captains meeting with over thirty in attendance. A Mr. Jesus Suarez from the CSPD Tactical Dispatch Office presented a comprehensive briefmg on the tactical and logistics aspects of our Colorado Springs 91IEmergency ReportinglResponse System. Major points presented were as follows: 1. The 911 System operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with most of the activity occurring on the swing shift (evening hours). For the first time in a long time, all shifts and operations are fully staffed. The 911 process involves a well established, proven set of procedures. A. When a 911 call is received, three critical pieces of information are requested which are absolutely essential for the system to operate properly: 1. What is the location of the caller/incident being reported? Insofar as possible the exact location is essential rather than a vague reference like "I am in Colorado Springs". Interconnecting street names and number if at all possible. This information is then correlated to their "911 Annie Alley" system, an automated capability to identify location and caller based on the phone number. However, a cell phone can give only the nearest broadcast tower, thus the need to specific location provided by the caller. Also, when a Voice Operated Interface Phone (VOIP) is used, make sure you have "enhanced 911" service identified. |
|
2. Name and phone number of the caller. Used to verify the "911 Annie Alley" input. Stay on the phone until this information is given if at all possible - may require several attempts to get coherent reply. May not be possible if the event is a crime in process. Ask if the caller is in a safe place. |
|
3. A detailed description of the incident to include any observable injuries, criminal activity observed and type, number of individuals involved, when it happened ("right now or yesterday or what"), current state of person. |
|
B. The initial reporting information is then fed into their automated Mapping System which identifies the exact location to the responder from where the crime/incident is being reported. |
|
C. Simultaneously, their Computer Assisted Dispatch (CAD) system initiates a response depending on three different types of call classifications: Police, Fire, or Medical. All 3 responses have specific, point by point protocols that are followed in each incident to ensure that all facets of the incident are covered. This information is then fed into the Public Safety Dispatch (PSD) system where it is radioed to the correct responder (Police, Fire or Ambulance) depending on the problem. Continuous follow-up is also ensured to make sure the response is solving the problem. 1. A Police call involves robbery, trespass, disturbances, traffic accident and is dispatched to 1 of four Police Divisions (Sand Creek, Falcon, Stetson Hill and Gold Hill) and eventually down to Sector level in each Division. |
|
2. A Fire call involves fires, flood dangers, power lines. The Fire Department has 20 fire engines located at 20 stations throughout Colorado Springs with some locations having Heavy Rescue capability such as jaws of life and ladders. |
|
3. A medical call involves partnering with AMR for ambulance and EMT |
|
support. It covers all ofEI Paso County except Security, which has gone its own way in terms of reporting. "On Star" direct reporting has problems in terms of not being specific as to location or level of medical assistance required. |
|
2. A few statistics on the "911" System workload for 2008 were presented as follows: a A total of 548,705 calls were made, with 273,332 being Police dispatches, 8,903 Fire and 48,006 Medical. Over 51,000 dispatches involved life threatening situations. |
|
b. The average response time was 5.8 seconds from the time the call was initiated until a dispatch was forwarded for all three shifts of operation. |
|
3. 911 Personnel have to go through a rigorous training schedule and periodic re-certification training programs. a. Primary Response Team (PRT) training includes 6 weeks of classroom and 9 weeks of OJT and requires re-certification every 3 years. |
|
b. Dispatchers for Police go through the PRT training plus 8 weeks classroom and 20 weeks OJT. Fire dispatchers go through 2 weeks classroom and 3 weeks OJT. |
|
4. Staffing consists of 5 - 10 people based on volume and shift with 7 formal position being manned 24/7. |
Here is some information on some upcoming training available to you for free.
City of Colorado Springs offers free emergency training to citizens.
The City of Colorado Springs , in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is urging citizens to take time now to prepare for possible emergencies. Weather in Colorado Springs can very quickly turn dangerous with icy conditions, strong winds and heavy snow. Some of the most severe storms in this area have occurred in March and April. Now is the time to prepare and a great time to ask the question, "Am I ready?"
The Colorado Springs Office of Emergency Management is offering a free two-day Citizen Emergency Response Training (CERT) class on March 3 and 4. The class will be held at the Fire Department Complex, 375 Printers Parkway , from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
In Colorado Springs , our most likely emergencies are weather-related, including blizzards, floods and wildfires. Storms may cause you to become stranded in your home, worksite or vehicle so it is important to have emergency kits in each location. During major events first responders often are overwhelmed with the number of individual emergencies. Citizens must know how to be self-sufficient during the first critical 72 hours immediately following any type of disaster, whether natural or human caused. CERT is designed to fulfill those needs.
CERT provides comprehensive training in disaster preparedness and response. Through classroom learning and hands-on training, participants will learn how to help themselves, their families and their neighbors during and immediately following a disaster. Topics covered include disaster preparedness; disaster medical assistance; light search and rescue; fire safety; terrorism and disaster psychology. This course does not offer certification in CPR or first aid.
Online registration forms and additional class dates are available through the Office of Emergency Management's website at www.springsgov.com. Citizen Emergency Response Training is located under Quick Links.

From: HARRIS, Robert A.
I am offering one final class for the year at the Gold Hill Sub-Station Community Room. This class will be from 6-9pm on Wednesday October 29th and cover the topics of CPTED and ID Theft Prevention.
(2hrs) Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is an internationally recognized program on how to use natural and man made devices to better protect your property. During this course we examine how to better protect your home with lights, locks, alarms to name a few. This course will help people recognize the "weak and vulnerable" areas of your home so you can remedy them.
(1hr) ID Theft is the number 1 fastest growing crime in the United States. By learning some simple techniques you can learn to significantly reduce your risk to this type of crime here in Colorado Springs.
As always these classes are free and open to the public I only ask for an RSVP so I don't overbook the Community room. If you are planning to attend just email me or leave me a message (385-2117) with the number of people coming to the class. If you don't plan to attend no need to reply

These meetings were postponed last year but are now being conducted around the city. These meetings afford members of the community an opportunity to have direct contact with department heads from all services provided by the city. This is a great opportunity to voice concerns and get answers from the department heads. If you have any questions that you would like to ask the panel could you please e-mail those questions to me so that the panel members have an opportunity to look into them. Thank you.
