There were
reports of vehicle break-ins on Gladstone and Kings Hwy this
weekend. Unlocked cars were targeted, as well as a vehicle in
an unlocked garage. Additionally, a Toyota was stolen from the
driveway of a residence on Taylorsville Rd, where the keys were left
in the ignition, with a purse on the front seat.
Please do
not leave your valuables in the car. Never leave your keys in
the car!! Lock your garages, as well as your cars. Call
the police cell phone (432-8900) as soon as you see or hear anything
suspicious. If your dog starts barking for no apparent reason,
pay attention to it!
Be
Safe,
Chief
Renzi

Hey
Everyone,
I just wanted
to advise everyone that an arrest has been made in connection with
several burglaries in the area, including a recent burglary on
Lowell Ave in Strathmoor Village. He is suspected of
committing 10 -12 more burglaries in the area. The
investigation is continuing, and additional charges will probably be
forthcoming.
I don’t think
he would have been picked up so soon if not for some great
investigative work by Strathmoor Officer Mike Petra. Mike
joined our Department in August, and we are very lucky to have him
on board. Thanks a bunch, Mike, for an outstanding
job!
Regards, Chief Renzi,

late-night auto burglaries. Someone has entered a couple of
vehicles and rummaged through the contents. Please be sure to
remove all valuables from plain view while they are in your vehicle
and be sure to lock it up when you are not driving it.
Report all late-night incidents of juveniles walking the

Metro police recently, after a
foot chase, made an arrest of a man on burglary charges who matches
the physical description of the person recently burglarizing homes
in Strathmoor Village. The Strathmoor Village Police will
continue to escalate daytime patrols during the peak burglary
period. Call the duty officer on the cell phone @

Thank you, Chief
Renzi

At the May 5,
2008 City meeting we regretably accepted the resignation of Chief
Jeff Carter who has served our community in outstanding
fashion. Jeff accepted a new position with the Kentucky
Department of Advocacy. He will be missed by many. The
Commission appointed Jeff's replacement --Joe Renzi, former
long-time Chief of Police at Graymoor/Devondale who recently retired
(and he thought he was going to rest). We are very fortunate
and very honored to have a man of Joe's caliber now serving as your
new Police Chief.
Chief of Police
Joe Renzi |
I graduated from Iroquois
High
School in 1969 and went into the
Marines a week later for 3 years, honorably
discharged as
a Sergeant. I
then spent several years studying and teaching martial arts
(primarily Chinese Kenpo) and have attained the rank of 6th
degree black belt. In July of last year I was honored to be
inducted into the Kenpo Hall of Fame.
In
1977, I became re-acquainted with my high school sweetheart,
Nancy. We married in 1980 and are raising 3 children, Nora,
Madeline, and Nick. I also have a 5 year old grandson. I
graduated from U of L in 1981, receiving a Bachelor of Science
degree in Police Administration. I returned to U of L several
years later and worked on my Masters Degree in Elementary
Education, student teaching and taking classes during the day
and policing at night.
In
1978 I started my career in police week for the City of
Plantation. I went to work
for the City of Devondale in 1979, becoming
their Chief in 1980. Several years later Devondale merged with
the City of Graymoor and became the City
of Graymoor-Devondale. I was the Chief for 28 years before
retiring in April of this year and joining the Strathmoor
Village

NOTE from our new Police Chief Joe
Renzi
In an
effort to improve communication between the Police Department and
our residents, we have added a cellular phone for the duty officer to carrry. This number (432-8900) will enable residents to have easy
access to an officer without having to talk to an answering machine
eliminating potential confusion often involving important
information. It will also eliminate the necessity for having
to make additional calls to residents who may need an officer in a
timely manner.saving both time and confusion which has often been
the case with the pager.
In the event that a call is received
via the cellular phone and it is not picked up by an officer within
20 seconds, the call will automatically be forwarded to the
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Dispatcher, who will be able to
provide prompt police service for the
complaint. Until this cancellation in about 6 months, the
pager will instruct residents to contact the police cell
phone.
