Friends of South 12th Street is helping to organize our neighborhood and increase the number of Block Watch groups in the area. Statistics show that there is reduction of crime in areas that have an organized and active Block Watch program. We have created a new page on our blog devoted to this effort. On the new "Block Watch Program" page, we have divided our service area into Block Watch groups. Below the map is a list of neighborhoods that have a Block Watch programs and the Block Captain's contact information. "It is my dream to have an organized block watch program on all of the blocks in the Friends of South 12th Street area", says Tim Robertson of Friends of South 12th Street.
We need your help to make this happen. First, if your neighborhood has an active block watch program, please email us at friendsofsouth12thstreet@gmail.com so we may update the block watch listings.
Second, if your block does not have a block watch program, please consider being the captain of your block. Being a block captain requires little to no time on your part. Simply let your neighbors know about the block watch and encourage them to connect with Friends of South 12th Street. As new folks move into your area, introduce yourself and welcome to the neighborhood. Invite them to join the block watch and connect with Friends of South 12th Street. If there are issues or crime in your area, you would report it to Friends of South 12th Street, just as you have done in the past. Please consider becoming the Block Watch Captain for your block by emailing us at friendsofsouth12thsteet@gmail.com .
