Hello to my new neighbors..

My name is Brady Rockett and I am currently living on Garden Acres and I am also a Bryan Police Officer. My email address is rockett302@hotmail.com . If any of you have any questions feel free to email me. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

I wanted to respond to the egging incident. Please be sure if your car is egged wash it off immediately. Dried egg will destroy a paint job. It is also helpful to snap a few pictures of it before hosing it down. I would also advise you to make a report.

As for juveniles wandering the street in the wee hours of the morning, Bryan does have a curfew between the hours of midnight and 5am. If you notice juveniles out and about between these hours please notify the PD immediately. I would advise against contacting these individuals on your own.

Always be observant in your neighborhood. If you notice any suspicious activity in the area try to make note of it, i.e. the time, type of activity, and if you called the Police. Keep good records and documentation. Documentation is the key to solving most problems.

Remember no matter how insignificant something might seem it could make all the difference in a future investigation. The same would apply if the problems always seem to coming from a specific residence.

As I said before feel free to email me if you have question. If it is an emergency always dial 911,
and be sure to always keep Officer J.P. Ingram in the loop. Officer Ingram is an outstanding Officer and works hard for the citizens of Bryan. I will send all questions I receive to him as well.

I look forward to working the residents of Garden Acres to make this the safest neighborhood in the city.

Block captains to distribute refrigerator magnets with Neighborhood Watch flyers

From Gary Wolff, GANA president:

"Don Gardner is close to organizing the block captains for the GANA sections.

"John Colvin, Brad Hollas and the Newman Sign Group have designed and produced refrigerator magnets with police contact information. Don Gardner and the block captains will be distributing with an informational handout put together by Rusty Cawley.

"Thanks go to Brad, Don, John, Rusty for their efforts and the Newman Sign Group for producing the magnets at no cost."

Resident reports youths wandering neighborhood in early morning, plus egging of car

Received this note from a homeowner in the 700 block of Garden Acres:

"This morning at 2:30 a.m., the dogs alerted us and we found 3 young white boys (12 - 15) year olds walking on neighbors lawns (north side of Garden Acres). After a confrontation with some young adults (party going on at 715 Garden Acres) they turned north on to Edgewood St.

"This morning we discovered an egg had been thrown at our car. Not sure if we were singled out (unknown reason as to why), but would alert neighbors to look at their vehicles. Egg will ruin a paint job.

"Also, parents of the young teenagers need to be aware of the dangers of young kids wandering the streets at 2:30 a.m."
