Are
you interested in fighting crime and making your neighborhood a safer place to
life?
Taylor
on Watch is an educational program that focuses on crime prevention and teaches
residents and businesses how to make it more difficult to become the victim of
crime. The next meeting is at Randall Elementary School.
Blocks
and neighborhoods that want to become more invested in their immediate community
can learn crime prevention and security tips via Taylor on Watch meetings.
Small groups of neighborhoods can join together and learn what to watch for to
protect their families and their neighborhoods.
Police
Chief Mary Sclabassi held four regional meetings last year that served as a
great introduction to the program.
This
year, she plans on more in-depth development of the anti-crime education. The
next meeting is scheduled at Clarence Randall Elementary School at 7 p.m.
on September 23. The school is located at 8699 Robert.
Crime
prevention programs like these are a priority of both Chief Sclabassi and Mayor
Rick Sollars.
"We
can all sit down, hear about best practices when it comes to neighborhood
safety efforts, and also share concerns about specific parts of our city,"
Mayor Sollars said about the program.
Police
Chief Mary Sclabassi agreed. “The police cannot be everywhere, all the time,”
she said. “We need eyes and ears in the community. We are constantly aided by
what concerned residents see and hear. And, given the proper education in what
to look for, they can make their own neighborhoods safer. It’s all a learning
process.”
