Would you be interested in the Coquina Sands Homeowners Association working to put together a Coquina Sands community directory?
The directory would include resident names, addresses, emails and telephone numbers, and would be distributed to the Coquina community. It would be intended as a way for Coquina residents to better know and contact their neighbors.
It’s great to hear that those of us who will be leaving for the summer are taking advantage of the Naples Police’s vacant house forms!
These forms are available for download online at the Naples Police website. (From the home page, select “outreach” to find the form.) Once you’ve completed the form, you can drop it off at the police department, fax it back (213-4841) to them or put it into the snail mail (355 Riverside Circle, Naples, FL 34102).
Once that’s done, Officer Keith A. Mason of the Naples Police and Emergency Services gets a copy. Then, your home goes onto his patrol and is checked once a week by himself or another officer. Neat!
One of the great things about these forms is that they have blank spaces for your contact information, should anything (unfortunately) happen while you’re away. Which is why the Naples PD requests you use the form, versus simply emailing or calling the department, which could leave loose ends.
Getting ready to head north/to Europe/RVing for the summer?
Before you depart, visit the Naples Police site and download the vacant property form. (From the home page, select “outreach” to find the form.) Once you’ve completed the form, you can drop it off at the police department, fax it back to them or put it into the snail mail. (Check back here shortly, and all the relevant info will be posted.)
Officer Keith A. Mason of the Naples Police and Emergency Services explains that once these forms are returned to the PD and entered into the system, he receives a copy. He is then able to place the home on his patrol, and it will be checked once a week by himself or another officer.
However: If you stay later or return early to Naples, please let the department know by phone. Many times, Mason said, officers have checked a home and found it unlocked, only to inspect it further, believing the homeowners are away. Of course, in this situation, if there’s nothing amiss and especially if it’s midnight — well, everyone gets a good story to tell over the next night’s mojitos.
Officer Mason is Coquina Sand’s point-person for crime-related concerns. Email him up at kmason@naplesgov.com
