WINDCRESTFall is here and things have finally started to cool down. This past
summer was a hot one. October is a busy month for the police de-
partment. Several things that are happening this month, first is Na-
tional Night Out then Trunk or Treat. This year we will be back at
the Civic Center in Takas Park for National Night Out. It is always
the 1st Tuesday of October and this year that falls on October 4th
from 6:00 pm until 8:30 pm. Good times are always had at Na-
tional Night Out. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
Then on Halloween, which always falls on the last day of October,
we will be holding our Trunk or Treat Event. Last year it was held at
the Civic Center but this year we must move it back to city hall due
to the early voting schedule. This year Halloween falls on Monday,
October 31, 2022. The time for the event is 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm.
We enjoy the interaction with our citizens at this event and are
amazed at the costumes of some of the kids and adults that attend
wear. There will be loads of candy being distributed and from what
the firefighters are telling me this will be the best haunted house
they have ever hosted.
We will be hosting a training class for our female citizens on
October 12, 2022, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. There will be no
cost to the attendees, and we are limited as to the number of seats.
As of this writing, there are still slots available. It will be highly
informative and light snacks will be available. Some of the topics
that will be covered are how to beware of your surroundings, how
to avoid & escape conflicts and how to determine what criminals
are looking for when they choose their victims.
Always be on the lookout for scammers. They are on the increase!
If it sounds too good to be true, it is. As always, stay safe and watch
out for scammers!
A Message From
Fire Marshal ZelenakWith Halloween upon us, here are some trick-or-treat safety tips for
you and your little monsters.
When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing fabric.
If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large
enough so they can see out.
Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow
sticks as part of their costume.
Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat
sources like light bulbs and heaters. Dried flowers, cornstalks and
crepe paper catch fire easily.
Use a battery-operated candle or glow-stick in jack-o-lanterns.
If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Be sure to place lit
pumpkins far away from anything that can burn and far enough
out of the way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways, and yards.
Tell children to stay away from open flames and be sure they
know how to stop, drop, and roll if their clothing catches fire.POLICE

Coe Com- ian
As I travel through the city, I have seen some areas needing some
work, specifically the back yards, alleys and tree branches that hang
over our streets. Fall is here and leaves will soon start to fall. Re-
member, you may blow or sweep your leaves onto the street, just
make sure you pick them up. Leaving them on the street is a viola-
tion under Section 14-2(b) and (c) / Littering. As we prepare for the
holidays, make your properties safe for family and visitors. Help a
neighbor clean, it can only help make your property look better.
Remember to lookup when you may put out items for brush-
bulk pickup in October. Please visit the city website for more
information. As we let go of the summer and work our way into
the fall. Please make sure you are trimming your low hanging tree
branches. 13'6" inches is the minimum height over all roadways.
Even in cooler weather you can still dehydrate, drink plenty of
fluids, wear protective clothing and take breaks. While the weather
is cooler, do some exterior home repairs by replacing materials or
painting as needed. Check with our permits department to see if
you need a permit for any repairs or replacements.
If you need any assistance or want to report a violation of the
Windcrest City Code, please contact your Code Enforcement
Officers via the Windcrest Police Department Dispatcher at 210-
655-2666 or send us an email thru the link provided within the
code enforcement website.Windcrest Newsletter IOctober 2022
