HOW TO START A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

1. PICK A DATE AND TIME FOR YOUR MEETING.IT IS BEST FOR YOU TO SIMPLY CHOOSE A DATE CONVENIENT FOR YOU RATHER THAN POLLING YOUR NEIGHBORS FOR A CONVENEINT TIME AND DATE. IF YOU EXPECT A GROUP LARGER THAN WOULD FIT COMFORTABLY IN SOMEONE'S HOME, C.A.N. CAN ARRANGE FOR SPACE AT NEARBY CHURCH OR SCHOOL.

2. HAVE A NEIGHBOR JOIN YOU IN WALKING AROUND YOUR BLOCK TO INVITE YOUR NEIGHBORS TO THE MEETING.

3. CALL THE COMMUNITY ACTION NETWORK AT 385-8807. TO ARRANGE FOR A POLICE OFFICER AND A C.A.N. VOLUNTEER TO CONDUCT YOUR FORMATION MEETING.

4. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ON YOUR BLOCK BEFORE A RASH OF BURGLARIES, VANDALISM, SHOTS FIRED OR OTHER INCIDENTS SPARK YOUR CONCERN. A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD DEPENDS ON AWARE, INFORMED AND ACTIVE NEIGHBORS!
