Attempted Vehicle Thefts in Shippan!

Late on Friday evening, August 6th, there were many attempted vehicle thefts and vehicle break-ins in Shippan.  Several residents heard car alarms and called 911 and the Stamford Police Department responded quickly and the suspects were apprehended early Saturday morning.  If you had items stolen from your car last evening or if your car appears to have been broken in to, please contact the Stamford Police Department at (203) 977-4444. 

Please remember to lock the doors to your house, close your garage doors, keep bikes and other valuables out of site, lock your car doors and report any suspicious activity to the Stamford Police Department by dialing 911.

Your continued support of the Shippan Point Association Patrol Fund will allow us to continue to provide additional patrol  hours which will help deter this kind of activity.  We have already seen a reduction in after hours activity at the public access ways due to aggressive policing of these areas during our extra duty patrols.

SPA Volunteers Would Like to Lend a Helping Hand!

Do you or someone you know need help moving a piece of furniture, making a dump run, cleaning up some broken tree limbs, taking out the recycling can or the like?  The SPA has begun an initiative aimed at helping the senior residents of Shippan with some of those chores that get a little bit harder at certain times in your life.  We would like to start building a list of these small projects and get them scheduled.  If you know a senior that could use this type of help or would like to volunteer for this initiative, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
