Security at Deep Harbour and 900 Marshy Cove: Community Watch

As a result of the last 900 Marshy Cove Board of Directors Meeting, an initiative to organize a Community Watch was launched.

At this time, volunteers are needed. For the most part, it is about keeping our eyes open and reporting incidents. In the past, incidents have been unreported or overlooked.  Other incidents have been processed through the grapevine only to be amplified.

One of the first steps will be to post signage to put the public on notice that Deep Harbour is private property and surveillance is in place.  Such signage provides the local police with justification to intervene when called.

Everyone in our community can help. If you see someone who does not belong and appears to be acting suspiciously, or loitering, call the police. Write down the time of day and description of the activity.  Good information will be the foundation of a solid Community Watch program.

Please understand that pedestrians do have the right to pass through Deep Harbour. There are many locals that use the easement to pass from Trenton St to Cedar St.  We do not need to harass these citizens.

Of the very few incidents reported to date most could be classified as opportunistic thefts.  Keeping doors locked and taking simple precautions, should deter future occurrences.

At 900 Marshy Cove, a third surveillance camera was added to record activity in the garage. Now there are 8 cameras recording all entrances, the garage, and the lobby.  Cameras do not stop the bad guys but, at minimum help to establish the time and nature of an incident.

At this time, send your incident reports to

or to Sentry Management

Or to a member of the 900 MC board of directors.
