A tip- If you or any residents see someone who looks suspicious, i.e. that they don't reasonably appear to belong in our community, and if you feel comfortable doing so, ask them if they need assistance. If they tell you "no," you might tell them that the reason you are asking is that we have an extensive crime watch program in Sunflower and all of us are trained to observe strangers. If they are up to no good (scouting out vacant homes for example) you have put them on notice without prying into their circumstance.
Once again, if you have any questions- please feel free to contact me. Armand 572-2216 lapotias@xxxxxxx
