NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH COMMANDER

Charles Brobeck, TMC resident, advisor and retired Chief of Police, Irvine, has organized the Neighborhood Watch.

Chuck has five block captains, but more are needed. Chuck wants to hear from you, and the neighborhood will appreciate your help. Contact Chuck at sls@csbrobeck.com if you wish to help with The Movie Colony Neighborhood Watch

Suggestions for avoiding thefts include: Don't leave things in your car as they may disappear. Citizens on Patrol (COP) does vacation checks. Crime in PS is down but the Number One is still burglary. The main reason crime is down is that four officers follow up property crimes. The casino has had some impact on crime, mostly in the area adjacent.
