Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a U.S. federal holiday observed on the third Monday in January, honoring the life and achievements of the civil rights leader, often marked by community service, marches, and educational events focused on equality and social justice, encouraging Americans to volunteer as a “day on, not a day off”. It commemorates his birthday (January 15, 1929) and serves as a national day to reflect on his legacy and continue his work for a “beloved community”.

Snowfall has a possibility of coming! Be safe and warm!!!
 With OKC’s first frost behind us, fireplaces and space heaters are back in rotation. A quick check now can prevent bigger problems later. How to stay safe: Ventless fireplaces: Crack a window for airflow. If the flame or smell seems off, call a professional. Wood-burning fireplaces: Make sure the chimney’s clean, the damper works and decorations aren’t too close to the heat. Space heaters: Plug into the wall, keep clear space around them and turn them off before bed or leaving the room. Home alarms: Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries. A helpful resource: OKC homeowners can request free smoke detector installation from OKCFD. A few minutes of prep now keeps your home warm, safe and comfortable all winter. |

If there’s a streetlight out on your block, let me know so we can report it.
As the Holidays are approaching we want to make sure our neighborhood remains safe.
Over the years, we have had as many as 18 neighbors that would give up an hour or two a week to
help patrol Harvest Hills South. Due to medical reasons and some neighbors moving out of the neighborhood, we need your help in rebuild our patrol unit back up.
For several years, we had very few incidents occur in Harvest Hills South, but we are starting to see an increase in car break ins.
Please “GET INVOLVED” and help keep Harvest Hills South a safe neighborhood!
Please contact us and let us know if you are interested and we can get you registered or click the link below. Training takes a little over about an hour at the Hefner Division Police Station.
