Safety & Security Division

MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose of the Newport News Redevelopment & Housing Authority Safety & Security Division’s is to provide all tenants, employees and visitors on our properties with a safe and secure environment. The Safety & Security Division has partnerships with the NNPD and NNFD to assist us in providing a safe and secure environment. Please report any hazardous or potentially hazardous safety or security conditions to your housing manager.

Employees and tenants may call 886-5192, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to leave information. This call goes to our answering service. The service will take all information without asking for or requiring identifying information from the caller. No information on the incoming phone number will be recorded. When the call is completed the call taker will contact the Security Division.

The Safety & Security Division publishes an article in the News & Neighbors (residents) newsletter. This is a monthly publication that keeps our tenants abreast of security issues, safety tips, and emergency preparedness.

The Safety & Security Division works hand in hand with the Newport News Police Department. The NNPD have two satellite offices on our properties (NIPP - Neighborhood Impact Police Patrol) located at Marshall Courts, 3400 Madison Avenue, and Harbor Homes, 582 17th Street. Tenants can report any criminal activity directly to the officers at NIPP locations. The Authority also utilizes off-duty police officers from the NNPD to patrol our properties. These officers make arrests, enforce our “No Trespassing” policy, and report any safety and security issues. Property Managers work with them to control any illegal activities on the properties. Newport News police officers reside in several of our properties to enhance good community relations. Contact the Safety & Security Office at (757) 928-2622 or (757) 928-2660 for any safety and security concerns or problems.
