CRO helps prevent crime, saves homeowners money
By SHAWN MOORE
Publisher
"I can save you money, at no cost
to you," is the statement that Mark
Phillips, The Colony Police
Department's community resource
officer, likes to make.
Phillips said his job is to provide a
proactive response to our citizens'
need for police protection and service.
His office will act as a liaison with
the Neighborhood Crime Watch
groups, educate the community on
crime protection procedures and con-
duct on site home security inspections.
At no cost, Phillips will come out
to your home and perform an in-
depth analysis of security for your
house.
"I'll do an insurance inspection,"
said Phillips, which includes "check-
ing exterior doors, sliding glass
doors, garage doors and windows."
There are certain guidelines each

house must meet in order to pass the
test. Dead-bolt locks must have a
one-inch bolt and lock securely in the
jam. Sliding doors must have a sec-
ondary lock such as a pin at the top
of the door. Garage doors should be
equipped with a key locking device,
and windows must use an auxiliary
locking device. Phillips will deter-
mine if the components of your home
needs work and will issue a certifi-
cate, which in turn will help reduce
your home insurance bill.

insurance premiums," said Phillips,
"That's by law" - Texas Insurance
Code Section 6(a)(2) to be exact.
Another part of Phillips' job is
planning and organizing National
Night Out, which occurs the first
Tuesday in August. The police come
out to meet the citizens in a national
event in which people take to the
streets to keep the criminals at home.
The event gives people a chance to
meet their neighbors and local law-
enforcement officers.
Phillips is also in charge of help-
ing organize and educate people
when they want to start a Neighbor-
hood Watch Program. Phillips en-
courages anyone interested in orga-
nizing one or saving money on
homeowners insurance to call him at
624-2215.
Darren Brockway has been the
The Colony High School resource
officer for the past five years but has
recently been replaced by Joe
Hammond because of Brockway's
promotion to sergeant. Next fall the
job will be Craig Parrish's.
The School Resource Officer
(SRO) idea originated in Los Ange-
les after police were continually
called to the campuses for criminal
behavior. According to Brockway, a
beat officer was enlisted, and the
crime rate immediately reduced. The
following year, an officer was as-
signed and the program took off.
The role of a SRO is first to be a
cop. Second, the officer is expected
to gain the confidence of the teenag-
ers and serve as liaison between the
parents, teachers and students.
"It took two years to gain the con-
fidence and trust of the students,"
said Brockway, who said he cannot
go anywhere in the city without be- .
ing recognized by someone. "I know
how a star feels now."
At first, Brockway witnessed
fights, assaults and drugs but says

Formulated in Switzerland
now the most prevalent crime is theft.
"We averaged four drug arrests a se-
mester in the beginning," said
Brockway. "Now it's around four a
semester."
Although the official shift for an
SRO is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Brockway
explains that he tried to go to as many
extra-curricular activities as possible.
Brockway was extremely visible
at the school because his office was
near the cafeteria and every student
had to walk pass him every day.
Sometimes, a student would just stop
by, and problems were contained
before they escalated.
Although he was at the school, he
did not get involved in an incident
unless a law was broken or the ad-
ministration asked for assistance.
He can tell his presence made a
difference because of the reduced
crime and because "the last two drug
runs of the lockers and parking lot
came up empty."
TCPD makes
several arrests
The Colony Police Department
made several arrests in the past week.
Tammi Gales Anders, 31, of The
Colony was stopped on Sunday for
traffic violations in the 4400 block
of Keys. She was arrested for out-
standing warrants and upon reaching
the police station, officers found a
plastic wrapper which contained .6
grams of cocaine on her.
Raun Matthew Carter, 17, of The
Colony was arrested on two counts
of intoxication assault for an accident
that occurred on April 9 in the 4100
block of North Colony. According to
Sgt. George Wintle, Carter was the
initial person at fault of a three-ve-
hicle accident which occurred when
Carter's vehicle, traveling west on
North Colony, lost control and went
on to the on-coming lane. Wintle said
because of the injuries no arrest was
made at the scene.
Carter was transported by
CareFlite to the hospital. The police
had to subpoena the medical records,
which showed that Carter's blood
alcohol level exceeded the legal
amount, Wintle said. A warrant was
issued last Tuesday. Carter was ar-
rested later that afternoon.
