Text Box: The end of the year is a good time to reflect on the changes you would like to make. Changes that will improve your lifestyle and safety are, hopefully, at the top of your list and HVCA has a few suggestions to improve your safety and the safety of others in our community. We hope you will include the following suggestions in your Resolutions: Turn on all your exterior lights at dusk and leave them on until dawn. Consider installing a photo cell device that will automatically operate exterior lights. Never leave valuables in your Text Box: car, especially in view of a passerby. If a pole light in your area is out or dim, call 301-421-1001 and leave a message with the pole number and closest address. If the pole light is on Homeland Drive or Morningwood Drive, Call Montgomery County at 240-777-2190. So that the police may better assist our community they need to be informed about problems. Report suspicious persons or activities and file an incident report is your car or property is vandalized. The police non-emergency number is 301-279-8000. Text Box: Also advise your neighbors and Community Manager of undesirable or unlawful acts that you may have witnessed in our community. Communication averts future problems through awareness. Pet owners—help HVCA to maintain the common areas of the community in a safe and sanitary condition by resolving to clean up after your pet (we have tried our best to make it easy for you). We wish you and your family a safe, peaceful and happy new year. Text Box: insure your request is not deleted as SPAM, always use the words Homeland Village or HVCA in the subject line of the e-mail.
