Last Updated:  July 12, 2010 A monthly community information newsletter for residents in the Delano area.   Officer  William D. D. Perkins #1724 Patrol West Community Policing 661 N. Elder Wichita, KS 67212    316-350-3460 Fax 316-337-9470   wperkins@wichita.gov   12 Beat Crime Trends        During the month of June there were a total of 5 incidents of non-residence burglary in the area.  Four of the incidents were all north of second street and a few blocks west of Seneca.  The losses included lawnmowers, electronics, weedeaters, and a bicycle.  Half of the incidents were from unlocked sheds or detached garages.  One of the easiest ways to keep your property safe is to lock it up.  Many times thefts of this sort are crimes of opportunity.  Make sure you write down model numbers and serial numbers of lawnmowers, weedeaters, and any property in your garage or house in case property stolen from you turns up in a pawn shop.  This way you can get your property back and someone can be charged with a crime.                                Paint Grant Program The City of Wichita’s Neighborhood Improvement Services is accepting applications for its Paint Grant Program. The Paint Grant Program is a seasonal program that runs from April 1 to Sept. 15 of each year. The program provides up to $200 worth of exterior paint to qualified property owners of residential structures located within the Redevelopment Incentive Area (RIA). The RIA is bounded by I-235 on the west, Pawnee on the south, 25th Street on the north, Hillside on the east and the Local Investment Area (LIA) that extends beyond the RIA boundaries.  All of Delano is covered in this program. To qualify for the free paint, the applicant must be the owner of a residential structure located within the RIA or the LIA Area with household income that does not exceed eighty (80%) percent of the median incomeguidelines for the applicable family size as established by HUD. To apply or receive more information, call Neighborhood Improvement Services at 462-3713.   For more crime prevention information call the Wichita Police Department Community Affairs Section at 268-4101.

Sometimes these complaints take time to investigate. I want to assure we will work each drug complaint we receive from you and try to take the appropriate action necessary to reduce or resolve the complaint. If you know of a drug house or a possible drug house, please contact me with as much information as you can about the location.   You can remain anonymous!   I would like to address three questions that I am often asked by citizens on the phone or at a neighborhood association meeting regarding possible drug houses in their respective neighborhood: How do I know whether a drug house is active in my neighborhood? Drug House Danger Signs Increased short-term auto and pedestrian visits at unusual times during the day and night to a particular house or apartment.

Contacting SCAT (Special Community Action Team) The Wichita Police Department recognizes that we cannot win the war against gangs and drugs alone. Gangs and drugs affect all of us and often destroy our community and families. We need your help, DO NOT look the other way and say it's not my problem. We need the community to get involved to be our extra eyes and ears. Get involved! Please report drug and gang activity in your neighborhood to the Special Community Action Team (SCAT). SCAT is the enforcement arm of community policing, which primarily specializes, in street level drug and gang activity. Any information received by you will be kept confidential and you will be doing your community a service. YOU can make a difference by calling the Patrol West Bureau S.C.A.T Team at 350-3460 or 267-SCAT. Organizing Neighborhood Watch Block by block community mobilization is the most powerful weapon in the war on drugs.
