Tanglewood
security officers are on duty 24 hours a day and can be reached by
calling the dispatcher at (713) 513-7700 or by calling (713) 628-9191
which will connect you directly to the mobile phone in the Tanglewood
patrol car. These numbers are solely for Tanglewood security. The number
for the dispatcher is listed in the business white pages under
Tanglewood Homes Security Office. In case of a police emergency,
call Tanglewood security first, then call the Houston police (911).
Off-duty City of Houston police officers work for the Tanglewood
security patrol and are radio dispatched. The response time of
Tanglewood security will almost always be quicker than that of the
Houston police.
Our security officers respond to approximately 250 calls per month. Our
crime rate is one of the lowest in the City of Houston, but crime is a
continuing problem. Please remember that alert neighbors, noise, and
lights are the best insurance against burglaries. If you see or hear
anything that arouses your suspicion, please call Tanglewood security
immediately. Calling the officer directly in the patrol car (713
628-9191) will greatly enhance the possibility of an apprehension.
Remember to call Tanglewood security first!

Calls to our
security patrol are restricted to those requiring an immediate
response from a police officer. These calls would include
reporting a crime in progress or a crime that has already occurred,
reporting suspicious persons or vehicles, reporting solicitors in
the neighborhood, or requesting a security escort. Also, when you
are planning to be away from your home for a period of time, you
should notify the Tanglewood dispatcher so that an officer can check
your home periodically to make sure it is secure. |
