How
To Reduce Crime In Your Neighborhood
While we don't like to talk about it - or even think
about it -crime is on the increase in America, and throughout
the world. The number of burglars, muggers, auto thieves,
robbers, purse snatchers, etc., is growing at an alarming
rate. Now you, as a resident, working with neighbors
can help reduce the crime rate.
How?
By organizing and/or joining a neighborhood program
in which you and your neighbors get together to learn
how to protect yourselves, your family, your home and
your property. Working together, you can get the criminals
off your block and out of your area.
There's
safety in numbers and power through working with a group.
You'll get to know your neighbors better, and working
with them you can reduce crime, develop a more united
community, provide an avenue of communications between
police and citizens, establish ongoing crime prevention
techniques in your neighborhood, and renew citizen interest
in community activity.
"Citizens
Safety Projects" are set up to help you do this.
It is a joint effort between private citizens and local
police. Such programs have been started all over the
country. Maybe one already exists in your community.
These
organizations don't require frequent meetings (once
a month or so). They don't ask anyone to take personal
risks to prevent crime. They leave the responsibility
for catching criminals where it belongs - with the police.
This is NOT a "vigilante" group:
These
groups gather citizens together to learn crime prevention
from local authorities. You cooperate with your neighbors
to report suspicious activities in the neighborhood,
to keep an eye on homes when the resident is away, and
to keep everyone in the area mindful of the standard
precautions for property and self that should always
be taken. Criminals avoid neighborhoods where such groups
exist.
Through
cooperation with local law enforcement agencies, some
of the things you will learn - and all free - are:
1.
What to do in an emergency.
2. How to best identify a suspicious person.
3. How to identify a vehicle being used in a suspected
criminal activity.
4. Signs to watch out for before entering a house or
apartment that may be in the process of being burglarized.
5. What to do in case of injury.
6. What to do about suspicious people loitering on your
street.
7. How to identify stolen merchandise.
8. How to recognize auto theft in progress.
9. How to protect your house or apartment.
10. How to recognize a burglary in progress.
11. How to protect yourself and family - and much more.
It's
easy to get your group started. All you have to do is
contact your neighbors and arrange a date, place and
time for the first meeting. Hold the meetings at your
home or that of a neighbor. Try to plan a time that
is convenient to most of your neighbors - preferably
in the evening.
Then
call your local police department. They will be happy
to give your group informal lectures, free literature
- and in many instances, window stickers and I.D. cards.
Remember, police officers can't be everywhere. Your
cooperation with them is for the benefit of you, your
family, your neighbors
and your neighborhood.
