Neighborhood Watch Committee

We Desperately need to form a neighborhood watch.  I've noticed an increase in gang activity and now that the weather is nice I expect it to get worse. Just today there was significant gun fire causing children at play to have to go inside and hide. This is unacceptable!! Our children should not have to live in fear of stray bullets and it is our responsibility as the resident adults to provide a safe environment for one another. You can get get involved by contacting rsn918@gmail.com any level of interest is helpful your information will not be shared with authorities unless you provide it yourself. We just want form a few commitiees designated by area so that perpetrators can be caught swiftly thus deterring future crimes.

Testimony:

"My neighbor across the street has on multiple occasions intervened in the robbery of our home. Just this last fall he noticed a man watching our house ( a duplex ). After several minutes this person began "testing" the doors then went to the back of the house and attempted to break into the side of the duplex that my mother lives in. My son and I had been home next door and were totally unaware that  a burglary was in process, but our beloved neighbor across the street had been watching this person and called the police. The would be robber was caught by police before he could enter the home and commit unthinkable crimes. If it weren't for that responsible neighbor who got involved and took action there could have been another tragedy in our neighborhood."

So before you write off the idea of getting involved with the neighborhood watch pleast take a moment to think about your neighbors, think about the children playing outside. With just a little personal responsibility you could save a life, you could help eliminate crime in this neighborhood.
