MLPA takes our commitment to maintaining a secure neighborhood very seriously.  A number of dedicated volunteers contribute to our work, but we welcome new volunteers interested in these efforts.

Currently, there are two committees operating under the security umbrella:

  • Security works with the officers of the Morningside Security Patrol (MSP) to support their efforts. Contact security@mlpa.org to find out how you can contribute to this work.
  • Neighborhood Watch maintains a network of volunteer block captains who collect their neighbors’ contact information and send emails to alert their block of issues or incidents.

       If you are interested in working with the Neighborhood Watch program, email                                            neighborhoodwatch@mlpa.org.

  • Security and Neighborhood Watch work together to provide a monthly report of crime incidents in the neighborhood, including the Morningside business areas.  On an as needed basis, they also send out Be On the LookOut (BOLO) reports.  This is a near-real time notification of immediate potential threats or criminal activity in the neighborhood.
