Safety & Security
Spring Creek is a gated residential and golf course community. The gate is manned 24 hours a day providing access to residents and their guests as well as guests of the golf course and Tavern on the Green.
Spring Creek security is provided by Securitas and is primarily responsible for traffic direction and access approval at the front entrance gate. They are also tasked with supporting emergency services (fire, police, EMT, etc.) within the Spring Creek gates, as well as promoting our community’s safety and security objectives.
Gatehouse
If you are expecting guests to the neighborhood, please notify the Gatehouse in advance so that they can provide them with a Visitor Pass. This pass should be visible in the vehicle at all times. Extended passes are available to frequent guests.
Also, if you see something suspicious or have a need for security, call the gatehouse security at (540) 832-0832.
Contact 911 for Police, Fire, or Rescue Emergencies.
Vehicle Barcode Replacement: As part of upgrading the access control systems at the front gate we are in the process of replacing the current vehicle barcodes that have been issued to residents as well as recording the new barcodes. We need the full participation of all residents of Spring Creek and we need to have barcodes on every resident vehicle. If you have already purchased barcodes for your vehicles, there is no charge for the new barcode. The only exceptions are motorcycles, convertibles, and antique automobiles. If you know of a resident who may not be able to receive an email, have access to TownSquare or has not received the letter, please pass on the information to them and if necessary, assist them with providing the required information.
Speeding and Reckless Driving: As a reminder for all residents and their guests, the posted speed limits are 15 mph in the neighborhoods and 25 mph on Bear Island Parkway (Except for the area between Applewood Dr. and Persimmon Way, which is posted as 15 mph).
Residents are encouraged to report incidents of reckless driving to the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE OR INVESTIGATE TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS OR ENFORCE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.
Shield Program: The LCSO SHIELD program uses a community-focused policing method to counter local crime, active shooter events, bomb threats, homegrown violent extremists, and even national terrorism. LCSO SHIELD is designed to engage community members and partners on national and local security issues by establishing information-sharing partnerships and delivering civilian training. The combination of public awareness, law enforcement visibility, and reliable communication promotes an atmosphere of community partnerships and together we will transcend the County of Louisa and be a great deterrent to crime.
Increase your awareness of crime trends and suspicious activity by developing ongoing partnerships and a reliable capacity for getting/giving pertinent and real-time information. LCSO SHIELD keeps its partners informed of Louisa crime information, new intelligence, local and global incidents and upcoming events and training.

Lighting in Spring Creek
You may have noticed that we do not have streetlights. Spring Creek is designated as a “dark sky” community. For safety, we ask that your post light be on at night. Your post light provides lighting to help someone locate your home and to deter criminal activity, while still allowing you to enjoy our beautiful sky vistas.
