ANNOUNCEMENTS:

 

WARNING!
Apparently kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you'll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some of your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well.

Don't pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc.

Emergency Notification
Cobb County now has an emergency notification system.

SMS/Text Messaging
By signing up for Nixle, residents will be informed of:
1. Armed or dangerous persons in their area
2. Missing person alerts (Amber Alerts, Levi's Call and Mattie's Call)
3. Fatality or severe injury accidents resulting in significant traffic delays
4. Other critical incidents that require real-time notification


PENS (Police Email Notification System) is a service provided by our local police precincts to inform residents about community issues, crime prevention, and safety tips.

What you and your neighbors can do:
Do not post your vacation plans on Facebook or other social media sites and frequently remind your teens of the same. When you let everyone know when you are leaving and when you will be back, you are providing valuable information to a potential thief.

Please remember to remove your valuables from your vehicles and take them inside at night and lock your cars! If you are going somewhere and plan to leave your valuables in your car, please secure them out of sight before you arrive. Do not broadcast to everyone that you are placing valuables in your trunk.

Please continue to call 911 anytime you see someone suspicious in your neighborhood. School is out for the summer and this is the time when we see an increase in daytime residential burglaries and nighttime residential entering autos. If you see anyone on foot in your neighborhood that you do not recognize or someone you do recognize that appears to be behaving suspiciously, please call and let an officer check it out. You can remain anonymous!


Register your phone number for CodeRED emergency notification
Cobb County is launching a reverse-911 system called CodeRED high-speed notification solution. On Monday, Feb. 1, the system called every land line registered in the county encouraging people to register by visiting cobbcounty.org/911 and clicking on the CodeRED Reverse 911 Registration tab. The system affords the ability to communicate time sensitive messages to targeted areas or the entire county. This will be especially helpful in delivering important information during an emergency.


The system is only as effective as the telephone number database supporting it, so residents are strongly encouraged to add their home and mobile phone numbers. All businesses should register, as well as residents who have unlisted numbers, changed their phone numbers or addresses within the past year or those who use cell phones or VoIP phones as their primary numbers. It is important to register cell phone numbers as well. The information provided will only be used for emergency notification purposes. To register, visit cobbcounty.org/911.

Friends of Price Park

"My name is Terry Scoville. I am a resident of Amberwood Creek subdivision just around the corner from OEL.   I would like to share some information about a relatively new Cobb County Park and a non-profit friend group that has just formed to support this new park.

Leone Hall Price Park is about a 8/10 mile from Acworth Due West on Stilesboro.  It is 127 acres of forest and meadows and has Allatoona Creek running through it.  The Friends of  Price park is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is reaching out to the local community to create awareness of the park as well as seek support of developing the park as it was intended - a passive park that will be somewhat of a nature preserve for the community.

Click HERE for viewing a brochure that discusses the park and the friends group. Our website became live yesterday www.friendsofpricepark.org

Olde England Lake is one of the closest subdivisions to Price Park so I am hopeful OEL residents will find the park a great resource and will support us in huge numbers.  Any help or support the residents of OEL can give us would  be much appreciated.Best regards, Terry ScovilleVice President- Friends of Price Park, Inc.Ph.  770 499 9959

Property owners can register burglar alarms without penalty

Cobb County residents and business owners who have unregistered burglar alarms can still register them without penalty. However, if an unregistered alarm goes off before then, its owner can face fines and penalties under the county ordinance. The alarm ordinance went into effect in January and about 33,000 people have registered so far, but there are an estimated 45,000 burglar alarm users in Cobb, according to officials. Motor vehicle or boat alarms and alarms designed to call medical personnel do not have to be registered. Registration gives police contact information in case of emergency. Registration is free and can be completed online at cobbpolice.com. For more information, call the False Alarm Reduction Unit at 770-528-3819.
