Dear Kamares Neighbours,
In the light of the recent
burglaries in Kamares, it is felt that nowadays a variety of security measures
are required to protect your property.
With this in mind, a group of
Kamares residents have decided to hire a COLLECTIVE PRIVATE PATROL SERVICE from
a licensed security company. During the
hours of darkness, they will provide a marked patrol car with a uniformed
security guard, check the properties and plots of the participating
houseowners, using a random route. The
participating owners would be provided with a report on the visits made and
will be able to trace the route. Each
participating owner will have a direct mobile no of the patrolling security
guard who can be called urgently in the event of danger. Providing that the security guard will be
patrolling the entire night within Kamares for the benefit of participating
villas the guard should be able to reach each property within a very short
period of time.
After preliminary discussions with
various security companies, the service is available for approximately €80 per
month for each property in a group of 30 villas. Please note that this fee is obviously lower
than the fee charged in the case of an individual service where the patrol car
does not have a large group of clients living nearby.
Based on a group of 30 villas, it
is presumed that the patrol would be able to visit each property approximately
4 times per night [depending on the actual distance estimated which will be
known when interest in the scheme can be assessed]. It is felt that the recommended maximum
number of villas in a group would be 30, so if interest exceeds this number, it
is recommended that a second/third/etc group be formed to maintain the number
of 4 visits to each property per night rather than reduce the number of visits
for a much larger group of villas.
Unless the patrol provider is the
same as your alarm provider, please note that the patrol company will not be
able to respond to burglar alarm calls – these will remain under the control of
your existing alarm provider [unless special arrangements are made, eg adding
the guard’s tel number to the list of those receiving notifications on break-in].
The first
group of villas is close to being finalised so that together this group can
select the provider and start the patrol. If you are interested in joining such a
scheme, or have any questions, please email me at linbert@yandex.ru – we will
exchange contact details and discuss everything in person or at the meeting.
We have
also created a WhatsApp group for residents of Kamares where we can discuss the
issues of security in our village (implementation and operation of a private
patrol in Kamares; any suspicious activities/persons/vehicles; burglaries
happened; collective and individual measures of crime prevention in Kamares).
If you wish to join our WhatsApp chat, please let me know by email at linbert@yandex.ru
Sincerely yours,
Anna
on behalf
of Initiative Group of Residents “Security in Kamares”
