(34,189 posts)53. It's seems to be sort of a neighborhood watch with less "watch"
And more neighborhood involvement. Here is the outline of the plan, but the synopsis of what they are trying to achieve only comes at the end:
Significant and lasting crime reduction and increased quality of life are only achieved with persistence and courage. The time is now to decide that you want to live in a safe neighborhood where children can play outside safely without fear of being struck by a random bullet, where the elderly can walk home from the grocery store without getting ambushed by street gangs, and where your home is your sanctuary free of predators. The simple truth is this: a neighborhood is only as safe as its residents permit. Every neighborhood has the ability to be safe and productive. Every neighborhood has the potential to reduce crime. This isnt a rich or poor issue. Its not about who has influence in the community and who doesnt. Keeping your neighborhoods safe is about citizens working together, partnering with law enforcement, implementing a plan and taking
ownership for your safety.
