NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY

The Basics: YOU are the eyes and ears of our neighborhood!

To help keep our neighborhood safe, report crimes, graffiti, and sanitation violations when you see them happen. Here’s how:

  • TO REPORT DRUG ACTIVITY OR SUSPICIOUS PERSONS, CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT’S ANONYMOUS TIPLINE: 215-686-3128. 
  • REPORT GRAFFITI ONLINE: www.phila.gov/antigraffiti/removalform.html. Be sure to record the exact location where the graffiti appears and the surface type (e.g. brick, stucco, stop sign, etc.).
  • REPORT ABANDONED VEHICLES ONLINE: http://www.ppdonline.org/rpts/rpts_abanauto.php. Take down all of the essential details: the location, make, model, color, license plate number & state, and note any damaged parts. Our neighborhood is located in the 4th District Patrol Area. 
  • REPORT SANITATION VIOLATIONS, ILLEGAL DUMPING & DEAD ANIMALS ONLINE: http://potholes.phila.gov/csstreets 
  • 9-1-1 SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY. 
  • FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, CALL 3-1-1.

A bright idea: Even by simply leaving your porch light on at night, you can help deter crime and make our neighborhood feel safer.
