The Safety Committee

The goal of the Safety Committee is to work to enhance neighborhood security. Committee projects have included distributing information on countering illegal activities in the neighborhood, facilitating the growth of Neighborhood Watch Programs, and developing strategies for increased collaboration between residents and the Police Department.

In January 2004, the committee met to discuss goals for the coming year. Concerns neighbors ranked as a high priority were:

• Using the NNN as an information center to collect information to pass on to police
• Increasing participation in Neighborhood Watch
• Re-creating block clubs where neighbors get to know their neighbors
• Working with Crime Watch to assigned HUD funded police foot and bike patrols in our area
• Developing a list of landlords/worst properties so we could work in conjunction with Police and code enforcement to help neighbors resolve problems with rental properties.

The Safety Committee meets monthly - for meeting information please contact Marilyn at 232-9182.
