Summer Tree Apartments First to be Recognized as Blue Star Compliant

Published on August 11, 2017

The Huntsville Police Department recognized Summer Tree Apartments as the first complex to earn Blue Star compliance.

Blue Star is a program sponsored by the Huntsville Police Department that works with local apartment complexes to increase safety, reduce crime and improve the quality of life for its residents.  Summer Tree attended the first Blue Star training class March 22.  As part of the program property owners are required to attend an 8-hour class explaining the Blue Star Program, what its benefits are, and how they can obtain Blue Star recognition.  Before being recognized as Blue Star compliant, complexes have to undergo inspections and site assessments by officers certified in crime prevention techniques. “Summer Tree has worked hard to be a model for the other area complexes, and we hope to eventually have every complex in Huntsville involved in the program”, said Chief Mark McMurray.

The next Blue Star training class is scheduled for August 17 at the Huntsville Police Department’s West Precinct, 2110 W. Clinton Avenue.  There are still slots available for complexes wishing to be part of the Blue Star Program. Learn more or enroll in the Blue Star Program .
