Neighborhood Resources

Thompson-Hunter is seeing a year-after-year decrease in crime activity. The Raleigh Police Department (RPD) has done a fantastic job of keeping the area safe and responding when incidents do happen. At this point in the neighborhood’s transformation, the community has to step up and help RPD in order to continue seeing decreases in illegal activities.

During the Fall of 2015, the board organized a meeting with neighbors and Raleigh Police. We talked about the best ways to communicate as well as various topics like loitering, negligent property owners, and youth in the neighborhood. The main takeaways from that meeting were that neighbors know the area best and should work with the local officers.

If you see suspicious or illegal activity in Thompson-Hunter, here are some actions that you can take.

  1. Call the non-emergency phone number - 919.831.6311
    Use this for tips and suspicious activity.

  2. Contact (email or phone) an officer directly
    Our community officer would be the primary contact but others in the Southeast and Downtown districts can help. Contact information is on this page.

  3. Join Nextdoor - https://thompsonhunternc.nextdoor.com
    Our neighborhood is on Nextdoor and the Raleigh Police is monitoring this. You can report things here along with other neighbors.

  4. Call 911
    If you witness illegal activity happening, calling 911 is critical. This is recommended and encouraged by Raleigh Police.
The main thing you should take away is that there are things that can be done before having to call 911. Every little piece of information helps the officers who serve the community and everyone benefits.
