The Laurelhurst Community Club (LCC), recently sent out a newsletterto all neighbors regarding subscription to the Private Security Patrol, which covers the entire neighborhood area south of Sand Point Way from Mary Gates Way to NE 55th Street for $200 per year.
LCC told the Laurelhurst Blog Staff that the success of the patrol, now in its fourteenth year, "depends on neighbor participation - the more families that subscribe, the more coverage the patrol can offer."
A uniformed, off-duty Seattle Police officers patrol the neighborhood approximately six nights/days a week for five hours each shift. Nights and hours will vary depending on funding received. The officer carries a police radio and police firearms and drives an unmarked personal vehicle. The officer monitors incoming 911 calls and responds to neighborhood calls, vacation checks, while on patrol as well as working with the official response from the on-duty police officers.
To participate, neighbors can use LCC’s secure on-line payment option (preferred) at www.laurelhurstcc.com, or send a $200 check payable to LCC Laurelhurst Community Club, PMB #373, 4616 25th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98105. When paying by check, include name, address, email, and emergency contact information.

In 2015, KIRO TV published a report on the Laurelhurst Neighborhood Security Patrol (below) and the Security Patrol was also mentioned in an article in the Seattle Times in November.
