PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

from the City of Kirkland Police Department about

RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY

When the weather turns warm, windows and doors are kept open more often to let cool air in and families may go on vacation leaving the home unoccupied.  Residential burglars often take advantage of the opportunity to easily enter a home with unlocked doors and windows.  Although most residential burglaries happen when no one is inside, criminals are known to take the risk even when someone is at home.  Criminals only need a few seconds to steal electronics, jewelry and other valuable items.  The Kirkland Police Department offers the following crime prevention tips to protect your residence from burglary:

How can I reduce my chances or prevent a residential burglary?

• Lock doors and windows.

• Do not leave windows open, even on the upper levels.

• Reinforce windows and sliding glass doors with secondary locks or dowels (rods) that fit securely in windows.  Dowels can be made of wood, PVC pipe or metal.  

• Do not hide extra keys to the house.

• Look at your residence like a burglar would.  If you can get into your house without a key, so can the burglar.

• Photograph and record all of the serial numbers of your valuables.  Keep the list and photographs in a safety deposit box.  Good for insurance claims for fire and earthquake also. 

• When on vacation, have a trusted neighbor take care of your residence, including picking up your mail and newspaper.

• Trim all hedges and shrubs so they are not covering windows.  Overgrown plants provide good hiding places for burglars and is an indication that you may be away from your home.

• Having a dog or an alarm system may deter some criminals.

• Start a Neighborhood Watch Program to help neighbors look out for one another and to report suspicious activities.

Here are some community notes and information for the Rose Hill area. 

•  
• There is an invasion of English Ivy into our Parks and Forests. Both Atlantic and English Ivy are non-native, invasive plants that climb into forest canopies, blanket the under story and host undesirable wildlife species like rats. Ivy grows quickly and can out-compete native plants for sunlight. Ivy can weigh 2100 pounds  - which is enough weight to topple trees. Once Ivy is about 3 feet high it's seeds can be spread by birds that feed on the berries. So, what can we do to prevent the spread of these invasive plants and protect our forests you ask?
  • Don't use ivy for ground cover
  • Trim or remove existing Ivy
  • Pull ivy off fences
  • Cut the stems if growing up a tree and pull ivy back 10 feet from the tree
  • Dig out roots
  • Dispose of cuttings in gray yard waste bins. Do not use herbicides as they are not effective on waxy leafed plants
  • Join a community work party to remove ivy from Kirkland's parklands -One Saturday of every month from 9-12 check below for the park and which Saturday. 
  • Contact contact Sharon Rodman at 425-587-3305 or srodman@ci.kirkland.wa.us.
  • Here is the list of parks and dates.
