Today’s Good News
Now is the perfect time to make contact with neighbors and establish a Neighborhood Watch program. To be considered a Neighborhood Watch program, neighborhoods must hold at least three meetings each year, must have a block captain or coordinator, and must create a phone tree that is supplied to police. For more information on starting a Neighborhood Watch program, contact Community Care Neighborhood Watch Officer Sarah Powell at 646-0407.
