Fire

I was taking a walk and came up a fire. This was located at the railroad tracks next to southern states. It appears that there was a substance poured on the gravel then the fire was started. I never saw a person anywhere near the area. I was able to put out the small fire by just kicking stones on top of it. I did not report this to the police, i wanted to note it on the neighborhood watch site to make sure people are aware of it. Also around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, October 9, there were two significantlly loud gun shots in the town. Could not fully get the location however, it sounded as if it came from the area in the center of town.

The FBI’s Child ID App

Putting Safety in Your Hands

You're shopping at the mall with your children when one of them suddenly disappears. A quick search of the nearby area is unsuccessful. What do you do?

Now there's a free new tool from the FBI that can help. Our just launched Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the FBI—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. You can show the pictures and provide physical identifiers such as height and weight to security or police officers on the spot. Using a special tab on the app, you can also quickly and easily e-mail the information to authorities with a few clicks.

The app also includes tips on keeping children safe as well as specific guidance on what to do in those first few crucial hours after a child goes missing.

We encourage you to share the word about this app with family and friends, especially during upcoming activities in your communities to raise awareness on crime and drug prevention. For its part, the FBI is working to publicize the app with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA)—its long-time partner in the National Child Identification Program, which provides a physical kit to gather your child’s pictures, fingerprints, personal characteristics, and even DNA to keep with you in case of emergency. The AFCA is producing a public service announcement about the app and will spread the word at various football games during the upcoming season.

 Right now, the Child ID app is only available for use on iPhones and can only be downloaded for free from the App Store on iTunes, but we plan to expand this tool to other types of mobile devices in the near future. And we’ll be adding new features—including the ability to upload other photos stored on your smart phone—in the coming weeks and months.

 An important note: the FBI (and iTunes for that matter) is not collecting or storing any photos or information that you enter in the app. All data resides solely on your mobile device unless you need to send it to authorities. Please read your mobile provider’s terms of service for information about the security of applications stored on your device.

Update

On 8-31-11 overnight (5) vehicles in (VOU), Addison Woods Rd., Singleton Terr. area were broken into. All vehicles with the exception of 1 was left UNLOCKED. Please refrain from leaving valuables in your vehicle and if valuables must be stored in a vehicle store in the trunk area (non SUV’s). Leaving items in plain view in unlocked vehicles under well lit areas makes it very easy for the criminal. They can see inside your vehicle of the item on the seat and the door is unlocked. So, again PLEASE secure all doors/garages to homes, LOCK vehicles, leave exterior lights to property on from dusk to dawn and report all suspicious activity to the non-emergency # 301-600-2071 crimes in progress and medical emergencies 911. Take care and be safe…
