Every Friday the College Station Police Department comes by for a visit.

Click to hear WTAW’s Chris Clift talk with Senior Officer Trisha Raynbird:

Raynbird says burglary of both homes and automobiles continues to be a problem, and they expect an increase in those calls as Texas A&M and Blinn students come back to town for a new semester.

On a call Friday Raynbird got on the scene to discover a burglar entered through an unlocked window and the victim made other calls and entered the home alone before calling police.

Raynbird says anytime you come home and your house or apartment looks like somebody may have found their way inside your first instinct should be to call police.

She says they would rather be called to come find out the wind blew your door open and all is safe than to have people avoid calling.

Another suggestion is to write down the serial numbers of all your valuables so they can be identified if they are stolen and then recovered.

Raynbird says photos of your valuable items can come in handy as well.

During any emergency call 9-1-1 and if you feel like a police officer should come look around your place or you need help in any non-emergency capacity call 764-3600.

Each Friday afternoon our local interview time belongs to the College Station Police Department.

This week WTAW’s Chris Clift talks with CSPD Sgt. Janice Kemp:

The primary topic of the conversation is back to school safety.

Kemp suggests that parents walk or bike the route to school with their children as a safety measure to ensure the kids are comfortable.

It is important to show children the cross walk areas and stress the value of listening to what the crossing guards have to say.

Traffic will be increasing as A&M and Blinn students come back to town.

Kemp says people need to slow down, be careful and drive with courtesy to keep accidents and delays to a minimum.

She also reminds those who might be new to town that there is sometimes a problem with vehicle break-ins.

Kemp says it is important to lock your vehicle and either secure valuables in the trunk or better yet take them inside.

CSPD has free stickers available for children who would like them for a bike helmet or something of that nature.

To get stickers for your kids, or for any other inquiries about CSPD, feel free to call Kemp at 764-3624.

Each Friday afternoon the College Station Police Department sends a visitor to the studios.

This week WTAW’s Chris Clift spoke with Lt. Steve Brock:

Lt. Brock talked about the Brazos County Emergency Notification System, or reverse 9-1-1.

The system allows authorities to call hundreds of homes in a manner of minutes to provide information on hazardous material spills, weather alerts, missing children and other critical situations.

The calls are geographically targeted by law enforcement officers to make sure they are calling land lines in the area impacted by the information.

If you have caller ID your display will show the number 979-862-8170.

A program to allow people to sign up their cell phone does not exist yet, but Lt. Brock says it is in the works.

Property crimes continue to be a concern for the College Station PD.

Brock reminds people to keep their automobiles locked and remove all valuables before leaving your vehicle.

Anyone who sees a crime in progress or faces a dangerous situation is reminded to call 9-1-1.

If you see something suspicious that you would like an officer to come check on, call the non-emergency line at 764-3600.
