Sheriff's Briefing Big Success-- Report Posted Online Now

The meeting at the Sterling Sheriff's station was a hugh success with a packed crowd with many neighbors there.

The quarterly meeting was held at the Eastern Loudoun Station by Sheriff Chapman and Captain Gabrielli.

The Eastern Loudoun Station serves over 80,000 residents and is right in the middle of Sterling.

Which is why I always refer to it as the Sterling Sheriff's station.

They reported that major crimes (burglary, robbery, etc) during April-June were up 24 percent over January-March; other lesser crimes were down 1 percent over the same period.

They have an online reporting system that is helps save time and money and can be used to report crimes such as identity theft, destruction of property, lost property, etc.

You can get more information here. They urged residents to lock their cars at night because they receive numerous reports of stolen items which are taken from unlocked cars. They also reported there are several telephone scams (see below ) and resident's are urged to beware of fraudulent phone calls.To view the powerpoint presentation, click here on this link.
