PUBLIC SAFETY REPORT
All Property Owners, both
full and part time, need to update WLE with your phone
numbers so that we may contact you in case of an emergency. All phone numbers
are kept confidential. Please call us or stop in to make sure this information
is in our systems.
MEDICAL AND
FIRE EMERGENCY DIAL 911 FIRST
The Emergency Phone is for
Fire, Police, and Medical calls only. It is not for barking or loose dogs,
opening buildings, power outages, or any other non-life threatening situations.
It’s for Emergency Calls only.
We
have an answering machine which is checked every half hour when there is no one
in the office at night. We have
Communication Officers on staff most of the time after hours to take all the
emergency and non-emergency calls. If you come in after hours with a guest or
happen to have a guest stopping by late, you can now obtain a guest pass after
hours. Please go to the back of the building and ring the bell.
KASPER LODGE
Smoking is
not permitted inside, outside or around the Kasper Lodge area. The same goes
for dogs, they are not allowed within these areas.
HOME ALARM SYSTEMS
Having an
alarm system in your home is a very good idea, especially if your home is only
for weekend or summer use. The Public
Safety Department patrols the roads and amenity areas of WLE, 24 hours a day /
7 days a week. There are 18 miles of roads, over 20 amenity areas and over 1300
homes in Wallenpaupack Lake Estates. Although we patrol 24 hours a day, it’s
still a good idea to have an alarm system in your homes. I will list a few in
the area for you, we use NORTHEASTERN SECURITY SYSTEMS 570-613-5025 / 800-439-0087, ADT ALARM SYSTEM 1-866-562-9052, RADIO SHACK ALARM SYSTEMS
570-689-3433, VECTOR ALARM SYSTEM 800-222-6565. If you need any further help,
you can contact me at XLT6000@aol.com.
HOME SENSOR LIGHTS
The fact being that criminals
don’t like lit areas, let’s illuminate our homes at night with motion sensor
lights. Be sure to point them down so they don’t disturb your neighbors.
WLE VEHICLE IDENTIFACATION
Property Owners need to have a current WLE bumper sticker on the rear of their
vehicle and all guests need to have a guest pass hanging from their rear view
mirror. If caught without proper
identification on your vehicle, the fine is $25.00. If caught parked at the
NEW RV PLATE REGISTRATION All WLE RV’s now have to have the new license plate
attached to the front of the vehicle. If you don’t have a license plate on your
RV, (Golf Cart, ATV, Quad, Snowmobile, or Motor Bike) you are in violation of
registration and will be fined.
RV RULES: UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A
TOTAL OF 4 PEOPLE ON THE GOLF CART - 2 IN FRONT AND 2 IN REAR SEAT, AND ONLY 2
IN THE FRONT AT ANY TIME. FOR PEOPLE OVER 18 YEARS OF AGE, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE 5
PEOPLE IN THE GOLF CART AT ANY TIME. MORE THAN THIS BECOMES A SAFETY
HAZARD.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
I want to thank Mick Henry
and the members of the “WLE Neighborhood Watch” for their help and support this
past year. WE NEED YOU TO COME JOIN OUR
TEAM - WE TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME.
FEEDING DEER
Feeding the deer lures too
many deer into an area with insufficient food and leads to having unhealthy
deer. Feeding them goes against the WLE Rules and Regulations and you will be
fined.
DOGS
Dog licenses must be
purchased on or before January 1st of each year, and dogs must have a current
rabies inoculation. If a Property Owner’s dog is caught wondering around loose
in the neighborhood, you will receive a $100 fine. The dog you own is yours and the other
property owners do not want to be bothered with stray dogs on their property. A
continuous barking dog is also not tolerated and a fine will be issued.
.REMEMBER - LICENSE AND RABIES INOCULATION -
“IT’S THE LAW”
SPEED LIMIT
The speed limit for all
vehicles in WLE is 20 mph or less. Our
radar units are all calibrated, and our Officers are all certified to operate
them and they will be out enforcing the speed limit and writing citations.
Speeding citations can get quite expensive for you , so please maintain the
designated speed on our roads.
PARKING
Parking on the side of the road is not permitted in WLE. It
causes hazardous conditions for vehicles passing by.
STOP SIGNS
Stop signs are for your safety as well as the safety of
others. Be a role model for your children as it could save their lives.
PATROL OFFICERS
The Patrol Officers here at WLE patrol the roads and enforce
the Rules and Regulations of WLE and they were put in place for the safety and
well being of all. The Public Safety Officers are just doing their jobs; they
do not make the Rules and Regulations, they only enforce them. Please don’t take your hostility out on them.
