The Logan Park Neighborhood Association (LPNA) will make available $25,000 of program income funds to reimburse Logan Park Neighborhood residents for a Security Rebate Program- “Logan Park Safe & Secure”. The funds will be distributed by LPNA in the form of rebates to reimburse property owners /dwellers for up to 50% of their out-of-pocket cost of such improvements. The maximum rebate will be $350. 

Of the $25,000 program funds, $7,000 will be dedicated for renters.  Renters can use more than the $7,000 of dedicated funds but are entitled to at least $7,000 of program funds. Program will be open until January 1, 2025, or until funds are exhausted.   If program funds remain as of January 1, 2025, the LPNA board will have the option to extend the program or reallocate the funds.

The program is open to residents and residential property owners.  Grantees are encouraged to share video with other neighbors and MPD upon request.  LPNA asks that Grantees promote the program with a window cling that will be mailed with the reimbursement.

Eligible improvements include: Exterior dusk-to-dawn motion lights, front or backyard  ·  Security cameras  · Video doorbells  ·  Installation and any necessary wiring/electrical work done by a non-applicant professional.  Only new projects will be considered.

Ineligible expenses include, but are not limited to: Ongoing maintenance · Monitoring and operational costs  ·  Installation labor performed by the applicant homeowner, tenant or property owner  · Tools or rental charges for installation  · Batteries, light bulbs, fire extinguishers and other consumables  · Maintenance and/or replacement costs for an already installed system.

If a resident is unsure on where to start, we recommend starting with a free Home Security Audit from the 2nd Precinct Crime Prevention Specialist. For more information about the security audit, please contact [email protected], 612-673-2874.
