assistance is needed. Please do not post minor incidents.
If a crime is committed in another neighborhood and you read about it somewhere, please do not
post on the Linmeyer Emergency groups. It is not an emergency in our area and has already
occurred. Should the community know about a crime in a nearby neighborhood LAG will validate
the report first and may post it if it is relevant to Linmeyer and Oakdene.
Should you receive a BOLO (Be On the Lookout Out) from another group, inform LAG control room in
a private message. They will be able to confirm it, and should it be valid and a legitimate risk,
distribute it. This is done for residents own protection. We don’t want someone being a cowboy and
getting injured because of the information.
Please keep all chat about pet problems on the social or pet groups. If you are not on the pet groups
then request the LAG Control Room to assist you. Water, Electricity, potholes, streetlights, and other Municipal Service issues must be reported on the Linmeyer Services Group and not on the Emergency Group.

Radios
The residents of Linmeyer and Oakdene have a community radio system that is used in times of need. Roll call is done every day from around 7 until 8. The roll call is done to make sure we stay in communication with as many residents as possible, as well as to ensure that the radios stay in use and are operational and that residents know how to use them. Residents can obtain the pricing of a radio and order a radio from the LAG Control room, the pricing of the radios vary and are dependent on the rand/dollar exchange rate.
