Crime and Safety
You notice a strange car has been parked up the street for a while with occupants inside. No one has come out of the car but another car stopped by and there was a brief conversation between the two cars. The second car left but the first one remains parked there. It's been several hours. You wonder what's going on.....
Somerset has it's share of criminal activity ranging from occupied loitering cars, often with young people, drinking, doing drugs and leaving trash behind to more serious mailbox theft, vandalism, vehicle break-ins and home burglaries. None of us is immune to the threats and some of us have direct experience with it.
Crime prevention and maintaining safety is the primary focus of our Bellevue Police Department. They are here to help but can only provide help if they are informed when problems arise.
Forming block groups helps to build strong neighbor-to-neighbor connections which in turn helps prevent crime and improves safety and disaster preparedness. With this connection, if you see something unusual going on at or near a neighbor's house you know you can feel comfortable calling them to ask if everything is okay. They expect you to do this and would do the same for you. By looking out for each other we improve safety and resilience to crime.
