Residents are asked to be aware of a current series of burglaries that are occurring predominantly throughout the back country areas of town.

These burglaries are occuring to unoccupied homes during the early evening hours.  It is important from a prevention perspective to have your home appear occupied.  This can be accomplished by keeping lights and radios on timers, installing motion activated exterior lighting and keeping your shades drawn.  It is also important to pick up your mail and newspapers promptly, and keeping the exterior of your home free or debris, and  cleared as the season requires.  Establishing open communications  with your neighbors often can provide support in your absence, and increase awareness relative to the normal activities associated with your home.

Please remember to set your alarms and lock your doors.

Please pass this information on to others.  Thanks you.

Please immediately report any suspicious activity to the Greenwich Police Department at 203-622-8001.  For crimes in progress, dial 911.

FATAL MVA

On Monday, March 8, 2010 at approximately 11:40 P.M., the Emergency Dispatch Center received a 911 call reporting that a car had struck a building at 1064 East Putnam Avenue. Greenwich Police, Fire, and GEMS were detailed. Upon police arrival on scene it was discovered that a single car had struck the west facing side of 1064 East Putnam Avenue, directly across from Saint Catherine’s Church.

The operator and sole occupant of the vehicle was trapped within the car due to impact damage. The Greenwich Fire Department extricated the operator from the vehicle and GEMS transported him to Stamford Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The deceased is identified as: David H. Roberson, Age 42, DOB- 09/22/1967 16 Hassake Road, Old Greenwich, CT

An at scene investigation has revealed that Mr. Roberson was traveling eastbound on East Putnam Avenue approaching Riverside Avenue when his vehicle went out of control and struck the building. The crash remains under investigation by the Traffic Section Crash Reconstruction Unit.

Hear what is going on LIVE….

Listen to Greenwich police, fire and GEMS dispatch live at Tom Alessi ScanGreemwich.com website at this link.

Well, the website has a new feature — an archive of some past calls.  The first archived police call occurred last month, involving an armed man in Greenwich and it is an excellent example of the drama faced by our police officers.  Moreover, it is a vivid demonstration of the life-threatening risks our Greenwich police could face at any moment.

Without revealing the entire plot, you can listen to the call coming in, the command supervisor (Car “61″) arriving on the scene, initiating a “Code Alpha” alert to all GPD units, the police mobilizing the GPD nationally recognized and award winning sniper, Chris Girard, positioning a team from GEMS in a staging area near-by, the arrival of police back-up, the Supervising hearing the crack of a gunshot, and the ensuing drama.

It is Greenwich’s own “reality” show — a true life and death story.   It illustrates the professionalism of GPD — the calm, reasoned demeanor that comes with years of training and experience.  It shows the teamwork, the stresses, the instantaneous decision making.
