I organized a civilian patrol in our neighborhood. We have had plenty of robberies, also.
The police have been extremely co-operative; however, there are not enough of them. We need community policing.
Keep such items as gold in the bank safe, not at home, or you are asking for trouble. Never keep large amounts of cash at home. Make certain that there are plenty of lights in the front and back entrances, and get an alarm system with security cameras. Why blame the police? I, for one, know most of the Edison police officers and they are fine human beings. There are rotten apples in all professions. We need more police representing the ethnic diversity in our town.
