Emergency vs. Non-Emergency
Emergencies (911) are situations that pose an immediate risk to health, life, property or environment. Examples of emergencies include but are not limited to: 

• typically a life and death situation
• most medical related situations
• burglaries or thefts in progress including seeing a prowler snooping around
• immediate danger to personal safety and structures
• brush and vehicle fires
• vehicle accidents, etc. 
• you approach a stranger who is acting suspicious and won't leave

Non-Emergency examples:

• Your house or car was broken into yesterday 
• Your car was stolen sometime overnight or earlier in the day 
• Someone stole your bike, boat, etc 

The Sheriff's Office, who covers our area in North Naples, indicate that it's really your decision if it's a 911 or Non-Emergency call.  Use your gut feeling to make this decision.
Naples Police covers "downtown".

​Trespassers:
Most of us have seen people trespassing on our Private Road. We now have a sign at our entrance that indicates our road is a Private Road. This should make it easier to approach any strangers in Riverbend and talk to them to see if they have a valid reason for being here.  Simply ask "May I help you" to start a conversation.  If needed, you can ask if they saw the sign indicating this is a Private Road.  If you have reason to feel uneasy, go inside and call 911.  You also have the option, depending on how you feel, to call the Non-Emergency number.  They will promptly send out an officer who will ID the person and ask questions.
