On the Security Scene

Thefts

On Saturday, December 16, a resident stopped at the Main Gate to report that his golf clubs were stolen from the back of his vehicle. He advised the Officer that he played golf the previous day and placed the clubs in the back of his vehicle. He went to dinner later that evening but did not notice if the clubs were still in his vehicle upon returning home. On the morning of the report, he realized the clubs were missing. The resident advised that his vehicle was left unlocked. It is unknown when the clubs were stolen or who stole them. Chatham County Police Department is investigating.

Security received a call from a former resident who now lives at Thrive on Monday, December 18, stating that his golf cart was missing. He believes the cart went missing sometime between noon and 4 p.m. on the day of the report. Security patrols were notified to keep an eye out for the cart. At approximately 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December 19, the cart was located. It appears that another Thrive resident may have taken the cart by mistake.

Guardian Pro Traffic Camera

The Guardian Pro Traffic Camera data integration with our SQL database has been completed. Prior to the integration, staff had to manually look up each license plate to verify the offender’s address. With the integration, staff now can run a report for a specified date range, which shows all the violations, the vehicle license plate, the date and time of the offense, the offender’s name, and address if applicable.

The Guardian Pro Traffic Camera was relocated between Bartram Road and Deer Run adjacent to the community path on December 6. The highest speed recorded was 25 MPH. As a reminder, the speed limit on community paths is 18 MPH. As indicated in this chart, 28 carts were traveling between 19 to 23 MPH, and as previously mentioned, one cart was traveling between 24 to 28 MPH.
