One of the main objectives of the team will be to engage the community, that is, walk neighborhoods, knock on doors, hear what our resident and business owners are and then act upon them. As a team, the community and our police department will maintain the safety for those who work, visit and/or make East Chicago their home.
The team will set forth to develop additional “Neighborhood Watch” groups and then once formulated, make sure that those groups are in contact with each other. In doing such, issues discovered in one section of our city will quickly be communicated to other areas so that we can quickly disrupt and dismantle threats to public safety before small issues grow into large problems.
Interested in hearing more about starting a Neighborhood Watch? Contact my office and I will be happy to discuss how we can work together to make this program grow and be successful. Contact me at (219) 391-8331 or by email, markbecker2012@hotmail.com
Until then, remember, if it does not seem right, it is not right. Call the police and let us figure it out, that is what we get paid to do
Be Safe
sounds like a great idea.I wish you the best of luck with the initiative and hope to see the men in blue walking, cycling and just plain engaging the citizenry, youth in particular. Good luck and Godspeed.
