We want to take a moment to update everyone about recent calls regarding a person who has been knocking on doors and getting into unlocked vehicles around town. The East Carondelet Police Department is aware of the situation and is actively working on it.

Our officers have made contact with this individual, who appears to be struggling with mental health challenges and homelessness. We are doing everything we can to handle this with compassion while also keeping our community safe.

We know this situation can be unsettling, and we appreciate everyone who has taken the time to call and report suspicious activity. Your awareness helps us respond quickly and effectively.

Here are a few safety reminders:

Keep your vehicles and homes locked, even when you’re nearby.

Avoid leaving valuables in plain sight inside your car.

Call the St. Clair County non-emergency number at (618) 277-3505 to report any suspicious behavior, or dial 911 if there’s an immediate concern.

Please don’t approach or engage directly—just contact us and provide details.

Thank you for continuing to look out for your neighbors and helping us keep East Carondelet a safe, supportive community.

** Ordinance Enforcement Notice **
One thing I often here from people outside of East Carondelet is that it's citizens often do a great job of keeping the their properties tidy and well kept. People passing through notice how much better EC is and it should make all of you proud, not to mention it helps keep your property values up. However, it never fails that there are a few properties each year that could use a little work and draw a few complaints.

With weather improving, Officers are going to spend a little more time this month on ordinance enforcement. If you think you've got anything that needs a little work, now's a great time to get it picked up so that we can keep up the good reputation!

Thanks for your cooperation!
