"Leave A Light On" Campaign
Lowry Hill is a relatively low crime neighborhood: 90% of the crime here is theft. This campaign was developed to help residents prevent theft. Light is a BIG deterrent to criminals. Follow the these basic safety tips to help make our neighborhood a safer place:
Leave your front and back porch lights on all night, every night. This does not cost more than a few extra dollars to your monthly electric bill.
Call 911 if you see suspicious persons or activity—this is what 911 is for. Don’t hesitate, make the call. Renters, do not wait for your landlord. Report all crimes in process immediately to 911.
Arm your alarm system at all times. If you don’t have an alarm system, consider adding a home security system to your residence.
Make sure all first floor or easy access windows are locked.
Close and lock garage doors. Do not leave valuables on porches or in yards.
Get to know your neighbors, share phone numbers and watch out for each other.
Neighborhood Cameras Installation
LHNA has partnered with MPD to install neighborhood cameras. LHNA pays for the installation ($7,000 per camera) using NRP funds, and MPD covers all additional ongoing costs. In 2020, four cameras were installed along Hennepin Ave in conjunction with East Isles and Uptown. In the summer or fall of 2022, LHNA is planning to install two additional cameras at the intersections of Irving Ave & Franklin Ave and Colfax Ave & Douglas Ave. The remaining two cameras will be installed at a later/future date.
