They have all pooled together to hire a private security firm to patrol the streets at night, on different routes every PM- with lights flashing, and eyes/ears/cellphone ready to dial. It apparently has cut down on crime- knowing that there is someone consistently driving up and down each street with the SOLE purpose of reporting and interrupting anything suspicious. Just a thought-- not sure how it would work. But, I am always a proponent for looking what works in similar neighborhoods. Of course there are pros and cons... but always something to think about! I would guess the cost is probably not as much as you may think- if you get quite a few people to "buy in".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
