We intend to continue for as long as it takes, our proactive efforts to seek out and arrest those individuals who engage in criminal activity or otherwise disrupt the quality of life of the good people who reside in the complex. We further intend to identify the property owners and whenever possible we will be holding them responsible for the actions of their tenants.
