Community Safety

The Association's patrol program has been one of its core services since 1995.

For many years, the program worked quietly in the background. Today, the neighborhood needs a more visible, organized, and responsive approach.

That is why the Association is modernizing how residents access patrol-related services, submit requests, receive updates, and understand what the program provides.

What the patrol program is

The patrol program is an added layer of neighborhood awareness.

It is not a replacement for 911, Baltimore County Police, fire, or emergency medical services. In any emergency, residents should always call 911 first.

The patrol program exists to support the neighborhood through visibility, reporting, member requests, and routine security-related services.

What members can request

Security concerns

Members can submit security-related concerns through the app so the request reaches the appropriate Association or patrol contact.

Away-from-home checks

Members who are traveling can request a property check while they are away.

This is one of the most practical and valuable member services, especially during vacations, holidays, or extended absences.

Patrol visibility

Member dues help fund patrol coverage and neighborhood visibility.

The goal is simple: make the neighborhood less attractive for unwanted activity and more responsive when concerns arise.

Status and communication

The modern platform is designed to give residents clearer information about patrol availability, updates, and service access.

What the patrol program is not

• The patrol program does not replace law enforcement.
• It does not guarantee prevention of crime.
• It does not replace common-sense home security, alarm systems, lighting, cameras, or calling 911 when needed.

It is a supplemental neighborhood service that works best when residents participate, report concerns, and support the Association.

Why it matters

Neighborhood safety is not only about responding after something happens.

It is about presence, communication, coordination, and making sure residents have a clear way to raise concerns.

That is what the Association is building.

A safer neighborhood starts with organized participation.
