KEEPING WATCH ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD

KEEPING WATCH ON
THE NEIGHBORHOOD

A frigid winter day made more so by
windchill.

Some years ago, I put out a draft
notice, informing all neighborhood
residents that they are part of our
Neighborhood Watch.

Call the Center Square APD Station
when you observe suspicious persons
and behaviors, an accident, or security
issue- 458 5660.

Possible terror threat(s)? Call State
Anti-Terror Hotline: 1 866 SAFE NYS
(723-3697)

When walking, biking, jogging carry
your cell phones with the above
numbers keyed in.

Keep and eye on your block and
beyond both day and night. Get up
from the tv. Look out your door
and windows.

Secure your home. Guard against
burglaries, home invasions, auto
break ins, vandalism and property
damage.

Keep me informed when you see
something and make a call to the APD
or anti terror hotline.

Security  and public safety are priority
issues. Crime is a problem. 9-11 changed
our lives forever. We must anticipate, be
alert for possible terror attacks,be prepared
to deal with them and, ideally, prevent
them whenever possible.

Gas stations, utilities, schools, hospitals
churches, synagogues, bridges are among
possible neighborhood terror targets.

Our neighborhood, and others, should
consider forming police-fire auxiliaries
in cooperation with the APD and AFD
to serve as neighborhood back up in
times of attacks and civil unrest.

Local churches, synagogues, schools
and businesses should prepare to
shelter, feed  and provide medical
assistance to neighborhood
residents in times of natural and
man made disasters
