Help Us With Solicitors
By admin September 28, 2014
Dear Crossgate resident,
This is a reminder that the City of Crossgate has passed a “No Solicitation” ordinance. Recently, there have been several reports of people going door to door, attempting to sell various products. No person should be coming to your door asking you to puchase something or to pay for a specific service unless that person has a permit in hand from the City of Crossgate.
If a person is soliciting without a permit, call his/her attention to the ordinance. If the person contines to canvass the neighborhood, call the Graymoor-Devondale police. We want to continue to keep Crossgate safe.
Anne Stanley Hoffman, Commissioner
Neighbors Please Be Doubly Vigilant:
By admin September 28, 2014
Crossgate is generally a quiet area, with little criminal activity. With that said, we are not immune. Incidences of car-break-ins have occurred recently nearby and even in our City. While we hope these are isolated events, they may be a sign of the times.
The best way to prevent crime, or to catch a criminal, is for the community to work together. Suspicious behavior may include an unfamiliar vehicle in a driveway or on the street, a loud noise or barking dogs at night, or an occupied vehicle parked on the street. Anyway… it pays to be nosy! Report any suspicious activity to our police department (327-COPS) – Emergencies, always 911.
Graymoor-Devondale Police: 327-COPS (327-2677)

We also would like to stress that residents take measures suggested by the Graymoor-Devondale Police Department as means to deter crime at home.
1. Communication is key – please call the police if you see any suspicious activity
2. Please keep garage doors closed, particularly at night.
3. Please keep house and car doors locked. Do not leave valuables in your car.
4. If you are planning a vacation or trip out-of-town, please use the house-check service the Graymoor Devondale Police provides (327-2677)
Than you for your time, and we appreciate your efforts to make our City a safe and wonderful place to live.
Sincerely,
Mayor Daniel Grimm
Update on Animal Control Issues
By admin February 6, 2014
Many suburban cities in East Jefferson County have wild animal (deer, coyote, fox) issues. With this in mind, we ask that you follow some simple suggestions from experts:
• Never feed wild animals
• Take away any potential water sources if possible (pet water bowls, pots full of water, etc.)
• Keep pet food inside at night
• Keep garbage cans closed and covered.
We appreciate your assistance with preventing what can be significant future health and safety issues.
