POLICE PATROLS
ARE
DATA DRIVEN

NO REPORTS = NO PATROLS

The No Trespass Affidavit is a particularly powerful tool to use to prevent vagrants from sleeping on your property. With it in place, HPD officers can arrest trespassers without you being present and charge them with a Class B Misdemeanor – resulting in at least 24 hrs incarceration.

Why am I not receiving FMC emails or Newsletters?

FMC sends out monthly email blasts using MailChimp, an email marketing provider that does not charge our non-profit organization to send you notices and newsletters. Although we’re very careful to format our emails to avoid spam filters, some of yo have reported that you’re not getting any of our announcements or newsletters.

Most of the problems are connected with the GMAIL email service, which automatically categorizes every incoming message according to its own inscrutable and oft-changing algorithms. For example, Google often considers emails containing links to be “Promotions” and files them in GMail’s Content/Promotions folder – a folder that is not normally visible to most GMail users. The surest way around this feature is to add president@firstmontrosecommons.org to your GMail Contacts – since GMail does not classify emails from your contacts as Promotions or as Spam.

Another method – which instructs GMail not to classify emails from FMC as Promotions – can be found here
