SECURITY INFORMATION
We are pleased to announce that effective March 1, 2022, Ascension Protective Services will replace Task 9 as our homeowner security company. APS will begin their patrols of our neighborhood on March 1 and will help provide a safe neighborhood environment for our homeowners. Just like before, we will have a 24 hour, 7 days a week hotline to contact APS. We always recommend you call 911 for any life threatening emergency. Terry Edwards, owner of APS has many years of law enforcement background and has built APS from the ground up. He and his officers will provide real time feedback of all issues they encounter to the Millwood HOA and will also present to the board upon request on issues surrounding security and how to improve safety concerns for each of our homeowners. The APS hotline number is 417-365-5123. We will be mailing a magnet and business card to each homeowner for their reference.
Always call 911 first in the event of a threatening situation, someone is hurt, or in harms way.
Call 24/7: 417-365-5123
