Neighborhood
Watch Outreach
Lynx Bus
SUMMARY:
Neighborhood Watch is a nation-wide program that works to empower community
residents. Neighborhood Watch helps to organize and train citizens to be
additional eyes and ears of the Orlando Police Department.
Neighborhood Watch works on the basic premise of home and residential security
with responsibilities shared by law enforcement and residents. The Orlando
Police Department offers:
·
Free home
security surveys
·
Electric
engravers so that residents can participate in Operation Identification.
Operation I.D. discourages theft and help law enforcement agencies identify and
return stolen property.
·
Newsletters,
crime prevention literature
·
Block captain
training and special events for all watch members
In order to
encourage residents to participate in our Neighborhood Watch Program, we have
secured crime prevention grant funds which enabled us to purchase an
“advertising wrap” for a Lynx bus.
The
“advertising wrap” will be on this bus from November 8, 2008 until mid-January
2009. If no one buys this bus for advertisement it will continue. We
are making another request for grant funds to do the same advertising wrap in
Spanish.
