Post author By Don Jensen
Post date February 2, 2013

Please find attached Gahanna PD’s JANUARY GPD Report 2013. If you have questions on it, please contact them directly. As always, if you see anything suspicious in our neighborhood, please call the GPD at 342-4240 to report your concerns. Chief Murphy has promised they will respond. If you have an incident where you feel response was questionable, let me know so I can share with him.

We’ve had a few residents comment about speeding. Several neighbors are concerned about speeding while a few have received citations. My suggestion? Please observe the posted limits.

A reminder from the City as well; it is city code to keep sidewalks cleared of snow. For safety and neighborliness, please make efforts to keep your sidewalks cleared of snow/ice.

Attached is the Gahanna Police Department OCTOBER 2012 Report. If you have questions on this contact them directly at 342-4240.

As you can see, we’ve been hit in our neighborhood by household break-ins during the day(!?). Any thoughts/suggestions on how to prevent these invasions would be appreciated. I have asked GPD Chief Murphy to increase patrols in the area and he’s agreed. Keep in mind if you see something unusual, don’t be afraid to call the GPD at 342-4240. You can make the call anonymous if you want. We need to help and look out for each other. If you have questions, please let me know!

ALSO, I got the following comment from a recent victim of a break-in: “The officer who came to my house after the robbery stated residents need to respond to someone knocking on your door, even if you scream “go away” to let them know you are home. I know in the past I ignored all knocks at my door but will now be yelling ‘go away’…..”

Holiday Schedules and Gahanna Info
For those interested, a lot of valuable info is available on the City of Gahanna website http://www.gahanna.gov/ regarding city finances and planning as well as the upcoming holiday schedules!

Next week is Halloween (October 31 from 6-8), please be careful and watch out for little ones.

FYI, the City of Gahanna does NOT pick up loose piles of leaves left curbside or in the street. All yard waste should be paper bagged and Rumpke Waste will pick up on the Monday pickup.

Thanks to those who have helped maintain the entrances to our neighborhood. We plan to have a Fall Clean-up done soon.

The City of Gahanna has asked me to remind everyone that as Fall approaches and the tree leaves come down, homeowners are to bag leaves and put the bags curbside on Monday mornings. Do not pile leaves curbside or in the street- they will not pick up.

Please find attached the monthly August 2012 Gahanna Police Report. If you have questions on it, please contact them directly. We thank Chief Murphy for visiting with us earlier this month.
I’ve had several neighbors and residents ask if I can ask all drivers to please SLOW DOWN on our streets. Our neighborhood is filled with kids and sometimes they don’t pay attention to cars on the street
Finally, a fellow resident has yard signs available to anyone who’s interested. You can contact her directly for more info: ‘ctownkm1@yahoo.com’.
Let me know how VOGHA can help-
