NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH 

The Bloomington Policy have reminded residents to keep their garage doors closed.  This is the number one access for break-ins, and leaving the door open is an invitation for possible problems.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT - Each year on the first Tuesday of August, neighbors throughout the US organize gatherings for National Night Out, a community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships. The event strengthens the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while enhancing a sense of community. Our National Night Out event is organized by the Highwood Estates Association, which includes single family homes as well as Eldorado and Highwood Townhouses.
