FFNA needs your help...

Dear Neighbor,

We hope this message finds you well.

We’re reaching out today with an important update about the Fiddyment Farm Neighborhood Association (FFNA) – and a heartfelt invitation to help shape its future.

For several years, FFNA has helped bring our neighborhood together. From community events to neighborhood clean-ups, and by serving as a trusted connection point between residents, the City of Roseville, and the Roseville Police Department, FFNA has played a vital role in building relationships and keeping our neighborhood informed and engaged.

But today, we find ourselves at a turning point. Several of our dedicated board members are stepping down, and unless new volunteers come forward, FFNA will need to go inactive in the near future.

We don’t want that to happen – and we believe you don’t either.

This is your chance to step in, get involved, and make a difference in our neighborhood. We are asking for several new board members who can commit to attending monthly meetings and 3-4 special events per year.  Your time and energy can help keep FFNA going strong.

No special experience is needed – just a desire to be part of something positive in the place we all call home.

If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved in the community, now is the time.

Please join us at our WEST ROSEVILLE NEIGHBORS' NIGHT OUT 2025 on October 11th at 6:30 pm at Bob Mahan Park (behind St. John’s Church just off Pleasant Grove Blvd.).  

Together, we can keep Fiddyment Farm connected, vibrant, and moving forward.

Warmly,
Fiddyment Farm Neighborhood Association Board

Protect yourself from purse or wallet theft

Protect yourself from purse or wallet theft
By: The Roseville Police Department 
Purse theft is a common crime that can happen to anyone, often leaving victims feeling vulnerable and frustrated. Understanding how thieves operate—and taking a few simple precautions—can go a long way in keeping your belongings safe.

There are two main types of purse theft: pickpocketing and purse snatching. Pickpockets are skilled at slipping items out of purses or pockets without the victim noticing, often striking in crowded areas such as grocery stores, markets, or public transit. Purse snatching, on the other hand, is more aggressive—thieves grab a purse and run, usually targeting people walking on the street or sitting at cafés.

Thieves often choose distracted individuals carrying loosely secured bags. They may also work in pairs, with one person creating a distraction while the other takes the wallet or purse.


Recent incidents in Roseville highlight these tactics.
Incident 1: While grocery shopping around 4 p.m., a woman was approached by another shopper who asked product questions. Moments later, her wallet was gone. Within an hour, her stolen cards were used to make purchases totaling $13,000.
Prevention Tip: Keep handbags zipped and secure. Be cautious of strangers who attempt to distract you.
Incident 2: In another case, a woman shopping around 1 p.m. was crowded in the freezer aisle by a male and a female. She later discovered her wallet was missing, and her credit card was quickly used for an $840 purchase.
Prevention Tip: Stay alert in stores, especially when others invade your personal space.

Protect yourself:
Use crossbody bags with locking zippers or slash-resistant straps.
Keep purses on your lap or between your feet in cafés—never on the back of a chair.
Stick to well-lit, busy areas, especially at night.
Limit the amount of cash and valuables you carry.
Never leave your purse unattended in your cart.

If your purse or wallet is stolen, report it to the police immediately and notify your bank or credit card companies.
Staying alert and taking precautions doesn’t just protect your belongings—it gives you peace of mind.

How knowing your neighbors helps prevent crime

How knowing your neighbors helps prevent crime
By: The Roseville Police Department 
In today’s busy, often disconnected world, one of the most effective ways to prevent crime doesn’t require high-tech gadgets or costly security systems-it’s simply getting to know your neighbors.

Strong neighborhood connections create a safer environment by encouraging residents to look out for one another and act when something seems suspicious.

Why familiarity matters
When neighbors know each other:
They notice changes, such as unfamiliar vehicles or people.
They recognize threats early and can alert others or call authorities.
They build trust-making it easier to share important information.

This “natural surveillance” makes it harder for criminals to blend in or operate unnoticed.

Neighborhood Watch: Proven Results
The National Sheriff’s Association reports that areas with active Neighborhood Watch programs see crime reductions of up to 16%.
These programs:
Encourage neighbors to connect.
Provide information on spotting and reporting suspicious activity.
Build a visible deterrent to criminals.

Small actions can have a big impact
You don’t have to organize a formal program to make a difference. Simple steps include:
Greeting your neighbors regularly.
Exchanging phone numbers.
Informing each other about travel plans.

Even these small actions signal that people are connected-and watching out for one another.

The bottom line
In a world where screens often replace face-to-face interaction, community connection may feel old-fashioned. However, it remains one of the most effective and low-cost tools for keeping neighborhoods safe.
 
Strong communities are safer communities-and it starts with a simple “hello.”

Fratis Park

From Rosevlle Parks & Recreation...
Please be assured that the current conditions at Fratis Park are on our radar. The following actions are planned:
Pruning and mowing started today. Corrections should be finished on this aspect by end of the week/beginning of next week. A separate team is working on addressing the replacement of landscaping, which will include new bark mulch. There is concern about planting in the heat, which exacerbates shock making the survival rate lower, so the timing of this work is as weather conditions become more conducive to plant growth. Additional work for some of the larger projects are being planned and will take time to address.  
Thank you for your patience as our team works through these items. Our parks are important and well-loved community spaces. We are committed to ensuring they remain safe, clean and welcoming.
