Q: I want to first say Bravo Zulu to you for taking this e-mail process so seriously. I have written in before and you handled both situations in a timely manner. Thank you so much! I wrote back a couple of months about parents dropping off and picking their children up behind The Sullivan’s School, where Shobu Heights is located. It is starting to become a problem again. Some days there are not so many cars dropping off and picking up kids and other days there are many. People park in the tower visiting spots, they park on the side of the road and some that have been warned by residents about dropping off their children, actually pull in the circle in front of the entrance to Shobu Heights to drop off and pick up their kids. They do this so it looks like they belong to the tower. I see enlisted and officers both doing it. There are signs clearly stating this is not a school drop off yet they choose not to pay attention. I try and talk to them and tell them but they say that I am not security and what I say does not matter. This is not the right attitude coming from either a spouse or military member. So I am here to ask for your help again.

A: First, thank you for the positive comments with your past experiences with the Action Line and with CFAY Security. We continually strive to resolve these vehicle safety issues around the schools and housing. We do find it disappointing that people would respond to you in a negative manner when trying to watch out for the safety of children. As you have the right attitude toward this issue that everyone should help and police themselves. It should only take a friendly reminder to set it straight. Again thank you for bringing this to our attention, we have it for action and we appreciate your support.
