A Message from NWSCA’s President   

Danny Woods

            NWSCA would like to extend their congratulations to the several new Security Coordinators who have recently joined our group. This is one of the most exciting jobs that you will ever volunteer for and also one of the hardest. The majority of our Security Coordinators have been involved for several years and with each year they become more experienced in getting the very best for their residents. Don’t hesitate to call upon them if you are new to your job.

            On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to extend our most heartfelt thanks for the great job the previous board has done. Cindy Angelo, Olde Oaks, served as President for the past two years and has brought many new concepts to NWSCA, such as outside speakers at our meetings. Also, a special thanks to Dora Young, Northwest Park, for her leadership although Dora did not serve on our board she has been a strong advocate for our group. Many people work behind the scene to help keep NWSCA a strong voice striving for the very best for each of our residents.

            We encourage your involvement in NWSCA. Together we can help the Harris County Sheriff’s Department fight crime in our subdivisions by providing consistent information on how to fight crime along with pertinent knowledge of what active criminal activity is taking place in and around our area. This type of information is vital to your resident’s safety.

            There are two web sites available to help. First, Harris County Sheriff’s Department website (www.co.harris.tx.us/so/dist1). This site contains recent public news releases as well as an understanding of the many different facets of the Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff Thomas is a very strong advocate of proactive policing. NWSCA also has a website that has crime prevention tips, past newsletters, and other pertinent information designated for your newsletter or for your residents who wish to go to directly (http://www.nwsca.net). Edie Goodwin, Woodedge Village, is going to help bring this site up-to-date with current information for you to pass along to your residents.

            Please join me as we go into the year 2001 and let us hear from you on any programs, comments or speakers that may help you do your job. We are totally dedicated to helping you as you in turn help your residents be the best crime fighters they can.
