The Board of Directors would like to stress that we cannot get involved in matters of crime or disputes between neighbors due to liability. According to the law and our community’s bylaws, the Association is responsible for maintaining and enhancing property values, especially the “common areas” (e.g., pools, basketball courts, playground). If you see crimes being committed or have an emergency, CALL 911! For matters involving disputes between neighbors or other non-emergency issues (i.e., barking dogs, illegally parked vehicle, etc.) call the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) non-emergency phone number at (210) 335-6000. We have recently discussed some cases where the HOA was contacted regarding resolution of issues out of scope for the board with Officer Ino Badillo (Deputy, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office) and he sent us the following email: “It is very important that residents understand that they need to call 911 Bexar County Sheriff's Office immediately. It does us no good if we find out after the fact. In this case, the sheriff's office will only be able to make an incident report. We need to catch them in the act. Please stress that we are their first immediate call, not the HOA or its management company. We get so many calls from board members and management companies after the fact or the following Monday.” Remember that if you see something suspicious, call it in to the non-emergency number as soon as possible. Do not wait until the next business day as this limits the actions BCSO is able to take regarding the incident. You and your neighbors are the first line of defense against crime in our neighborhood. For crimes that could damage property or may result in a loss of life, CALL 9-1-1 immediately! Copyright © 2013 Peel, Inc.
