If you see something suspicious, or if a criminal act has occurred, report it immediately to the Bloomington Police Department. For non-emergencies, call 820-8888, otherwise dial 911. Please also notify the OFL Board. There may be a recurring pattern or a wide-spread problem emerging. The Board sends out email alerts to all registered homeowners when theft or vandalism concerns are brought to our attention.


To receive Neighborhood Watch email alerts, you must register with the Board.

Whenever you see something suspicious occurring in the subdivision, or a criminal act has occurred, report it immediately to the Bloomington Police Department. If you feel it is a non-emergency, call 820-8888, otherwise dial 911. Vandalism often goes unreported and unfortunately the police may not be aware of the need for increased patrols in our area.

Please report all such events and also notify the OFL Board. There may be a recurring pattern or a wide-spread problem emerging. Hearing from several homeowners will make the Board aware of the issue and we may also communicate with the police. The Board sends out email alerts to all registered homeowners when theft or vandalism concerns are brought to our attention. To receive email alerts, you must be registered with the Board.

You can view reports of recent crimes in the surrounding area using the interactive crime map on the Bloomington Police Department website. For assistance using the tool, reference the Crime Mapping Brochure in the Publications section on the City of Bloomington’s website.

It’s easy to become a Board Member and openings come up on a fairly regular basis. If you have time to serve, get involved now and let a Board Member know that you’re interested. You may be able to fill a vacant seat between elections or run when the next elections are held in the spring at the annual Association meeting. Every year either four or five of the nine Board Member seats are up for election.

If you are interested in serving on the OFL Board of Directors, review the Volunteer to Serve on the OFL Board article in the Board section of the website or contact any Board Member.

Everyone can help out by picking up trash on the common property. When walking around the subdivision, picking up a single piece of trash along the way helps. From time-to-time, volunteers are needed for special projects. Whenever homeowners volunteer their time and effort, the Association saves money. This in turn helps to keep annual dues at a reasonable level. OFL has lower annual dues compared to many other homeowner associations around Bloomington/Normal. The Board maintains a list of many small to medium tasks where volunteers are needed.

If you would like to help, please contact a Board Member.
