Home Security Systems
In
response to your email dated June 6, 2002. It gives me great
concern that our system of prioritizing police response makes these
types of calls less than a priority. I too share with you some
of the same concerns for these types of calls. Next Wednesday,
June 12, 2002 @ 9:30 a.m. our Safety committee will be meeting and I
will bring up this issue with our Safety Director, Jim Draper.
Take
care, Matt Zone

Subject: Home/Business Security Systems
in Cleveland.
I am requesting feedback to two concerns
raised at the end of this letter. I am repeating them here in
hopes of imprinting ( think about ) the importance of both.
The First
But I am not a wishful thinker. I need to find a way now in
resolving the serious problem of protecting my wife at home while
I am away. Security systems at present is a non priority, code 4,
police response call. I am willing to pay for quality services
from the police department in order to gain peace of mind for my
wife and self. Correct me if I am wrong. Homeowners are charged
police calls if false alarms reoccur. I am willing to double the
amount for special 911 speedy service when the alarm is activated.
A contract between the police department ( City Hall ) and me
should lead to peace of mind satisfaction. Some type of
contract should also be made available to all citizens who want
them. If the Safety Committee has a better solution in bringing
about "peace of mind" I ( citizens ) need to know. If
there is no solution I need to know it as soon as possible. I
will have to start searching for alternative solutions.
The second
The Safety Committee also needs to address the issue of
informing current and future homeowners that security systems
are not considered emergency calls but rather non
priority (code 4 ) s-l-o-w response time in Cleveland. To
continue the silence on this issue is only misleading,
deceiving. People need to know about non priority protocol rule
before "rude awakenings" wake them up to the truth.
All owners of security systems with alert signals routed to
Cleveland police stations, should be notified in writing of the
procedure. And all people thinking about investing in
Cleveland property, should also be notified in writing that
securing such investments, does not receive 911 emergency
priority attention as most investors assume they do. They all
have a right to know this before signing contracts. If
this was done, no one could claim City Hall was negligent at "misleading,
deceiving" the public because ethics in government business
related to Home/Business Security Systems in Cleveland are being
practiced.
-----------------------------------------
I have a major problem that is the same
for all citizens living in Cleveland who have
"Security Systems" in homes and businesses. We did
everything possible to secure our domains against theft, and
what is far more severe, against physical harm and possible
death. However, because of local police procedure, we have become
helpless targets against the minds of criminals. Because when
alarm systems been set off, signals going into police stations
are not considered alarming.
Security systems are the answer to
security for many people living in the suburbs. Many citizens
in Cleveland thought the same until the truth visits them in
ways that defies all reasoning.
Last November I had a rude awakening.
The alarm system
went off when my wife and I was away.
The neighbors heard the sound on a quit Sunday about twelve
noon. So what did the police at second district do about the
signal when alerted? Will they did respond...an hour after the fact.
I suppose it was just another "ho-hum" situation. I
documented the happening and sent it via e-mail to Councilman Nelsen
Cintron. Did he respond? Silence. I guess he also thought it was
just another "ho-hum" situation. I invite all to read
the letters that failed to ignite the slightest of interest in Mr.
Cintron. Please click on...
However, Councilwoman Merle Gordon whose
Ward (15) is serviced by second district police did respond. I
was hoping the "ho-hum" attitude would not continue. She
was not disappointing. Ms. Gordon reacted in a concerned
business like manner. But I was not pleased with the dreadful news
she shared with me. The data I felt, should not at this
time be shared with readers of my WebSite because some of
the information could be read or talked about to the wrong
people. But I also felt the information needed to be shared
with the Safety Committee, all council members, and responsible
others ( owners of home/business security alarm systems ). So I
created the page below for select people to view. Please click on...
There are two points Ms. Gordon
raised that I felt needed " Think Tank" intelligent
exploration.
"
Only call 911 in emergencies."
When security alarms go off and signals
go into police stations, no one knows for sure what is
happening on the other end. Police cannot assume they are
false alarms or thefts in process which certainly would not
take president over 911 emergency calls. But all security alarm
systems when activated, must be cared for as a 911 call,
because someone might be placed in harms way. That thought
alone is what 911 is all about. That thought alone is high on the
list of reasons people install the devices. Suburban police
departments got it right. They may not even consider the signals
911 emergency calls, but most of them have enough respect
for citizens to treat them as such. I can even imagine some suburban
police being reprimanded for showing up an hour late at a citizens
home.
"... it
is police protocol to respond to
these alarms as a non priority."
Whenever I think of the above passage,
my thoughts run rampant.
Some of my feelings have already been
expressed in writing, so I will only add here that the statement
also informs owners of alarm systems that they are really
considered fourth class citizens when it comes to service from
police. Why? The non priority status at the present time is a code-4
police response call. In other words, it's okay to finish the
process of pulling cars over for speeding, checking for violations
on drivers licenses, waiting for responses, writing out tickets,
lecturing drivers, than proceed to the next call in order received,
than finally rush...will it's against the law to run red lights
unless it's emergency calls. Am I sounding sarcastic? Not to
the person trapped in a dangerous situation who feels a minute wait
seems eternal.
The importance of the security system in
my home has more to do with the safety of my wife than anything
else. When I am working in the evenings, she can set the alarm
and feel secure while I am away. And what added to her comfort
was the blue button on the security panel box with the emblem
of a police badge on it. If there is a disturbance at the
house she could press the button for emergency help. We both felt
good about the home security system until reality came knocking at
our door an hour after the alarm was set off. It was a false
illusion and a horrid way to wake up to the truth. Is life really
that dispensable ( code 4 ) in Cleveland? Am I wrong? I am not
interested in hearing "old hat" excuses. Because
when it comes to getting people out of harms way, the excuses only
defy all logical reasoning. What I have explained here is
nothing council members had not heard before in various
ways. But I will continue to add my plea to others that came
before until something positive comes along. All Public Safety
Committee members should thing hard on the question." Is
life really that dispensable ( code 4 ) in Cleveland? "
Answers that does not include excuses, can help in changing the code
4 response time to at least a code 3. And that's a good beginning.
But I am not a wishful thinker. I need to find a way now in
resolving the serious problem of protecting my wife at home while
I am away. Security systems at present is a non priority, code 4,
police response call. I am willing to pay for quality services
from the police department in order to gain peace of mind for my
wife and self. Correct me if I am wrong. Homeowners are charged
police calls if false alarms reoccur. I am willing to double the
amount for special 911 speedy service when the alarm is activated.
A contract between the police department ( City Hall ) and me
should lead to peace of mind satisfaction. Some type of
contract should also be made available to all citizens who want
them. If the Safety Committee has a better solution in bringing
about "peace of mind" I ( citizens ) need to know. If
there is no solution I need to know it as soon as possible. I
will have to start searching for alternative solutions.
The Safety Committee also needs to
address the issue of informing current and future homeowners that
security systems are not considered emergency calls but rather non
priority (code 4 ) s-l-o-w response time in Cleveland. To continue
the silence on this issue is only misleading, deceiving. People need
to know about non priority protocol rule before "rude

this was done, no one could claim City Hall was negligent at "misleading,
deceiving" the public, because ethics in government business
related to Home/Business Security Systems in Cleveland are being

If this e-mail letter only receives code
4 responses from Safety Committee members, I will see what can be
done to ignite 911 attention in other ways.

L.R.H.
_____________________________________________________ E-mail sent March 18, in response to Ms. Gordon's which is Placed below mine. Ms. Gordon,
Your response was greatly appreciated.
First, I did not expect you to answer for Mr Cintron. It is a business practice
of mine to send copies of letters or emails to another person s to
make sure as possible, the message was received. Two previous emails
related to the issue below was addressed to you.
I am pleased to note the high interest
toward the "Crime/Safety Watch Program." My daughter belongs
to one of the 85 neighborhood groups you addressed.
I have no doubt the 911 emergency lines is
being abused. But the police from every district is partly to blame
for the abuse. I have heard the echoes from both sides of town, cry
out in frustration, that police response is to slow when using
regular phone numbers. A resident only has to be frustrated or scared
once to change tactics when calling police again. And after hearing
some of the horror stories, I do not blame some of them for lying,
when using the 911 line to get the police out in rapid time. In brief,
when a citizen loose confidence in police response time, what you get
in return is abuse of the 911 line. And yes it certainly is a dilemma.
A police response dilemma that is way past due in finding a fix. It
can be done. If response time is very quick when it comes time to
handing out tickets for auto violations why...???
Your comments regarding home and business
security systems is indeed discouraging. What's worse is the Cleveland
Police Departments stand as a "non priority"
priority" call toward the red alert devices...is pure
lunacy! Unacceptable! UNACCEPTABLE!! I challenge, Cleveland
Police Chief Edward Lohn to read the first email I sent to
Mr. Cintron,
http://members.core.com/~clevecit/911alert.htm
and then email me back stating, "What's the big deal!"
I would send this email directly to him but I guess the public has
no right to touch base with this public servant via email
because the city web site has no address.
The information you provided regarding security systems and
police " protocol," related to them cannot be shared at
this time with readers of my WebSite. Although I feel this is wrong,
what is right is the protection of all citizens who now feel safe
having security systems. I have no idea of who is reading my site
and word could spread that police are lame on this issue. It would
be irresponsible of me to place many citizens in possible
danger of not only loosing politicians but also placing
them in harms way.
I will provide a message at the bottom of the web page ( Home
Security Systems in Cleveland. What good are they if... ) that
"Further information at this time has been postponed but
not terminated. To be continued... "
The Public Safety Committee of Cleveland City Council need to place
this issue at the top of their business agenda. Citizens who
have security systems deserve nothing less. Police protocol on this
issue must change from irresponsible to responsible.
Please keep me posted because if I hear nothing, emails and letters
will zipping onto computers and zapped into mail boxes in
and out of the city. That is not a lame promise and just the start
if...
Kind regards
L.R.H.

_____________________________________________________ E-mail from, March 11.
Mr.
Hough,
Thank
you for your email letter.
I
cannot address why Councilman Cintron did not respond to your
letter, however your initial email to me was directed toward your
issue with Councilman Cintron.
In
regard to your comments, I have allocated Ward 15 funds toward a
crime/safety watch coordinator. With her assistance we have
approximately 85 neighborhood watch groups in existence to deal
with a plethora of issues but most importantly safety issues.
I attend many of these types of meetings a every week. We
discuss the over-usage of the 911 system and how abuse of the
system can delay response time to true emergencies.
This
burden on the system has resulted in putting 911 callers on hold
when there are a high volume of calls. We continue to
tell people and encourage them to tell as many people as they know
and put this type of information in publications that if you need
the police in a non emergency situation that you should call
623-1234 or utilize the mini police for many of the quality of
life police issues. Only call 911 in emergencies.
As
it pertains to responses to security alarms, it is police protocol
to respond to these alarms as a non priority. This police protocol
is a source of frustration to those residents and business owners
who have alarms. This issue is raised at many block watch
meetings. It is also something that we have been discussing
in the Public Safety Committee of Cleveland City Council.
I
would encourage you to get involved in a block watch group near
you. If one does not exist, there are resources to assist
you in starting one.
Thank
you,
Merle
Gordon

I
have received your e-mail regarding home security systems, 911 and
Councilman Cintron. Please give me a call so I can further
discuss these matters with you.

______________________________________________________ E-Mail sent March 10, 2002 Mr. Zone,
Thank you kindly for the reply. To date
Mr. Cintron/Ms Gordon has not responded to the home security police
response time I addressed to them.
I would like to converse with you in
relation to the issue, but the concern was also shared with many
readers of my WebSite. Writing about what was discussed in person can lead
to, "Who said what to who?" The media at time hears feedback
like, "They didn't tell the whole story." or "They only
quoted part of what was said." I hope to never hear the above in
e-mails sent to me.
In my last e-mail to Ms. Gordon, I asked
for a response to the statement below.
I wrote "What encouragement can
you provide residence in your Ward ( and readers of my site ) who have
security systems, that they should not be overly concerned about
police response."
I was prepared to ask you the
same thing after giving Ms. Gordon sufficient time to respond.

_________________________________________________________________________ E-Mail sent, Tuesday, January 22, 2002Ms.Merle Gordon and Mr. Cintron
Ms. Gordon,
This will be the only e-mail to you
regarding the present subject.
Mr. Cintron decided by his silence
and my interpretation of it, police response time related to home
security alert signals going into the second district station, should
not be treated as a 911 emergency call. So be it. I know other
political leaders do not feel the same way. I can only guess you are
one of them.
You have received all my writings on
this issue, so I will simply keep this paragraph short by asking, What encouragement
can you provide residence in your Ward ( and readers of my site ) who
have security systems, that they should not be overly concerned about
police response. I know you have received many complaints
about 911 slow responses. So the question now is are you willing
to do whatever it takes to help reduce the number of complaints?
Reduce is the best anyone can ask for.
I have some good and bad news for Mr.
Cintron. Will maybe it's good and good, depending on how he relates
to them. All three of his opponents in the past election, did not
respond to the letters I sent them. Why? I haven't a clue except to
add, maybe they just lost interest in community activism. Are you
smiling Mr. Nagy?
The bad or good news, depending on how Mr.
Cintron views it, is another 911 emergency call was ignored by police...
during the most crucial time the incident happened.
On or about December 5, a frightened teen
girl leaves T. J. school for home. She is being followed by two
girl waiting for the right moment to jump her. She has a cell phone
and nervously deals 911. No answer. She speeds up her pace when someone
answered the second call. She explain the danger that lurked
behind her. But the call did not get a fast response. Upon arriving
home, the girls attacked her. The mother of the teen heard the screams
and rushed out of the house. She also ended up with a few punches
before the girls fled. The
police finally showed up after the fact.
Soon after the fact, the parents tried to
contact Mr. Cintron by phone. No such luck. ( now that is a complaint
about council members that may excel the slow responses of police
) After making several unanswered calls, the parent made a
call to City Hall council offices. Mr. Polansek was there and talked
with them about the violent attack. He told them Mr. Cintron
would be notified. Soon after the call Mr. Cintron arrived at the
school. Mr. Polansek had no problems making contact with him.
Something is so very wrong here. Wake up Mr. Cintron. Didn't you
read what the Plain Dealer printed about Ward 14 during election time.
Something about weak leadership. Am I wrong?
Long before I issued a complaint about
slow response time , other citizens had uttered the same . Mr.
Cintrons silence was not a wise decision. In my case, the only harm
done was the loss of feeling safe in my own home. But if he raised
professional havoc with the head of police at second
district after receiving my first e-mail notice and responded,
maybe...just maybe, I wouldn't be writing about the harm that
came to a teenage girl and her mother. Maybe Mr. Cintron does not
see the bad in all these happenings. Perhaps only the worst of
happenings, death partly caused by slow police response, will
wake him out of the deep sleep of complacency, and get the
adrenalin flowing. I truly hope this is not the case and welcome Mr.
Cintrons comments which will be posted on the WebSite so readers can
read his comments.
Much to my surprise, Mayor Campbell
responded to the slow response time I had with the police. And she was
not officially the mayor yet! It is nice to know she cared enough to
respond, because I did not expect a letter from her. All I wanted
was Mr. Cintron to make her aware of what happened to me. However his
silence only encouraged me to write the letter to her. And silence
from whomever, no matter what the issue, will get the same response in
the future. Why? Just call me a "bleeding heart"
A copy of this e-mail was sent to Mr. Matt
Zone
Please sir, correct me if I am wrong. Does
second district serve your
Ward? If not, let me know.
_________________________________________________________________________ E-Mail sent, Tuesday, December 11, 2001
Mr. Cintron:
This is the third reminder.
Two friends. One lives in Parma. The
other lives in Cleveland Hts. Both have A D T home security systems.
Both systems in the past had been activated. Police in both
communities treated the alarms as 911 emergency calls and surrounded
the houses with two or more squad cars within minutes.
When I told my friend from Parma what
happened when my home alarm was set off, he gave me a dead pan look
and said, " Will that's Cleveland for you".
I became a-bit miffed by the remark but
what could I say!
What I wanted to say was my councilman
is on it and wow is he upset! But all I could think was my
fearless leader led me to interpret his silence as, "Here's a
quarter. Call someone who cares."
Will that's Cleveland for you but it
does not have to be that way. So I started thinking again, "
Leonard put that quarter in your pocket for good luck and keep
the e-mails going out until you find someone who cares"
Mr. Cintron. Whatever happened to
"Checks and Balances" in government? You do know what they
are?
In case not ( check ) Was there a check
done with the Second District Police Station as yet on why
police showed up an hour late after the A D T alarm went off at my
home? If not that only adds up to ( no check ) complacency,
which in turn adds up to poor services for citizens served
by you and the second district police. (no balance ) Maybe the
firemen need to set a fire under the police to teach them what 911
emergency calls mean. It means drop the donut and move out faster
then a fire truck!
Whatever happened to the checks and
balances when I wrote about seven areas of concerns related to
Cleveland Public Power which added up to poor business practices.
I meticulously kept notes and documents before writing 22
letters (at two to three week intervals ) to council members. I
wrote about seven issues I felt needed attention for the benefit of
all C P P patrons who may have experienced some of the same poor
services I did. You received two of them Mr. Cintron but no
response. Did you really try to put aside what you may think of the
messenger and concentrate on the message...for the sake of C P P
patrons in our ward? I don't see any checks and balances in this
case? No wonder I hear comments Like, " Will that's Cleveland
for you".
Although this is my last e-mail to you concerning the police
cadets foul-up, I am holding you primarily responsible for
not taking care of business. I should not have to take this matter
to another council member who's ward the Second District Police
Station also serves. Oh-an apology is in order. Cadets know
what the call 911 means. I have seen a lot of them in
action...super action!
E-mail someone who cares. I'll give it
my best shot. In the first e-mail to you I wrote a
request. I expected you to notify mayor-elect Jane Campbell of the
police fiasco. I will do it for you and send it out via regular
mail.
Mr. Cintron. Are the following names
familiar to you? Mr. Ignatius James De Mio, Mr. John W. Neu and Mr.
Joe
Santiago. These are the gentlemen that ran against you in the
primary election. I wonder if...best to find out...via regular mail.
About a week before the November
election, I received an interesting piece of mail from you that got
me wondering. Its not a campaign letter...or is it? I'm
curious. The information provided may be the next
concern to be addressed...unless your opponents in the primary
wish to share some thoughts with me and citizens in our ward.
Because of the serious nature of my
present concern, I decided to put up a separate web page entitled,
"Home Security Systems in Cleveland. What good are they
if..."
A copy of this a-mail will go to Ms. Merle Gordon. Hopefully
you will show some courtesy toward a colleague by doing the right
thing. If not I have no problems writing to her about what comes
after...if
_________________________________________________________________________ E-mail sent, Monday, November 26, 2001
Mr. Cintron:
I got the picture. "Here's a quarter. Call someone who
cares." Did you really say that?
I should not have to write this
second reminder.
A 911 urgent e-mail petition should not
need a second reminder. What is the current status of my request?
I assume you touched base with the
second district police chief and is waiting for a reply? But
could it be I got the picture backwards. Knowing the slow response I
received from the police in his command, he may have instead
silently uttered to you, "Here's a quarter. Call someone who
cares."
People ask me, did I get a
response from you yet? I would like to say, you are still
trying to get all your ducks (facts) in a row. Yet
most of them feel the complaint was urgent enough to have
elicited a response many yesterdays ago. I would like to tell them
what I know, not what I think.
When I wrote my first letter to Mr.
Polensek concerning problems with Cleveland Public Power, I urged
him not to ignore my petition. I also promised that if he did,
my computer would become activated in getting the CPP message out to
the community. I fulfilled my pledge by creating a website. (http://members.core.com/~clevecit/council.htm) Did
that shake his senses any? No. Now he is ignoring the e-mails.
Not a good public business practice. But I have no doubt, the
e-mail effect ( from many citizens in the future )eventually will
curb the "pushing away effect" many people besides
myself experience at this time.
Mr. Cintron. Did you alert
mayor-elect Jane Campbell yet.? If not, I will and continue to
notify citizens that home security systems in Cleveland are not much
good if police do not treat alert signals as 911 priority emergency
calls. The two policemen that showed up at my house an hour after
the fact, treated the A D T alert signal as a, "cat up a tree
rescue mission." Is there a general complacency problem among
the police ranks? Yes, I know many situations police find themselves
in are hazardous duty responses. And I have great respect for
all placed in these kinds of situations. But I think I deserve the
same kind of respect also. My wife and I used to feel greater
security in our home after putting in the best of alarm systems. Not
any more. We now feel vulnerable to any kind of hazardous condition
that comes our way. What about a fire? Got it covered. A
signal goes to the fire station. I still have hope all is not lost. But
I must give credit were credit is due. What I know for sure
is...there is an area of police duty that gets swift attention.
Traffic tickets.
This is the second e-mail to you. What
should I think of your silence at this point? How should I
interpret the unwritten? "Here's a quarter. Call someone who
cares." Am I wrong?
A copy of my 911 e-mails was
sent to Ms. Merle Gordon, councilwoman for ward 15. The second
district police station covers her ward also and she should know
about my (citizens) urgent message and act on it! I will
expect an answer from her to share with ward 15 citizens of who are
connected to my WebSite.

Mr. Cintron:
I am angry, furious, upset, wrathful,
indignant, inflamed, enraged, fierce, and pushed to the limit.
But I will not allow
"complacency" in government services to push me beyond the
limits of tolerance. I will come down off my enraged emotional high
and just conclude by saying, "I'm not a happy camper!!!"
Sunday. November 11. Around
12:15 PM. ( if needed I can get precise info from A D T ) I
was away from my home at 3258 West 46th Street when the alarm system
went off. Fortunately, it was a false alert. But A D T followed up on
the signal irregardless of what they may have thought was happening on
the other end. They called my house and no one answered. Following
procedures, the alert signal was sent to the Second District Police
Station. What did they do? Nothing. It was not treated as an
emergency call. But an hour after the fact, the police showed up.
An hour later! Unbelievable!...and unacceptable!
Consider the following scenario. I
come home about one in the afternoon. Walk onto the porch and start
unlocking the front door. Suddenly I feel the barrel of a gun against
my back and a husky voice whispering, " Don't make any stupid
moves I know the house is bugged so go to the box and turn it
off" His voice was slurred and I knew he was either drunk or
spaced out on drugs. Nervously I moved to the alarm system while
trying to remember the special code A D T provided in cases of something
like this happened. Success. The beeping sound from the alarm stopped.
I started praying and counting the eternal seconds for the police to
arrive. I turned around and looked into the glazed eyes of a man that
uttered, " Money man hurry give it up!" With shaky
hands I pulled out my wallet and gave him what I had. He looked at the
money and cursed. "Twenty and some-some-don't mess with
me-man-get some more-alarm must have cost thousands-get moving."
I stalled for time and prayed harder for the police to get here.
slowly I moved into my office and went over to the disk. "Come
on-come on move faster" he anxiously mooned. After stalling by
opening a few drawers, I turned to see a started look cross his face
as Shadow my cat streak into the office causing him to shoot at the animal
and...
Got the picture?! I'm a dead man. When an
alarm goes off and the signal goes to the police station, it should be
treated as a 911 emergency call. That did not happen Sunday. When
the police showed up an hour late, a thief could have got away
with...or someone could have ended up injured or dead.
How should I feel now Mr. Cintron? I once
felt a sense of security in my home when
A D T secured it. When the
alarm went off they provided the service I paid for. When the police
showed up an hour later, my tax dollar was wasted. It really is a scary
situation!
Mr. Cintron. You need to look into this
matter of extreme importance. Find out what went wrong at Second
District Police Station and report your findings...to the citizens in
our ward. And please, I do not want to hear any juvenile excuses for
the slow response. When the police arrived Sunday the excuses given was
sickening. A house full of people also heard the remarks. There will be
no third notice ( which adds up to complacency on your part ) before
placing this e-mail on my WebSite.
This email alert memo will also be
monitored by other people separate from the site.
Please make sure mayor-elect Jane Campbell
receives a copy of this email. And I need confirmation from you
that she received it. Because if in the future, if the alarm goes off
in my home again and my cat Shadow is stolen or someone ends up
injured or dead because police showed up an hour late, my wife or self
will start a tolerant ( legal ) war in this town. I will begin
recruiting an army of Cleveland homeowners who pay thousands of
dollars to secure their property against theft and injury. We will
form an alliance and peacefully find ways to remove "
complacency" in matters of extreme importance to us. What
good is all the best security systems available if police consider
donut & coffee breaks ( folk wisdom ) more important?!
If for some strange reason, I end up six
feet under after spending, "...alarm must have cost thousands-get
moving." My WebSite is in good hands. No one wants to get on
the bad side of my wife. She is less tolerant than I and is a
better writer.
I am not a happy camper...Oh-bull!...I am
angry, furious, upset, wrathful, indignant, inflamed, enraged, fierce,
and pushed to the limit.
