*** 2nd Smoky Row Road Block Watch Meeting Scheduled ***

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

 

We will be having our 2^nd  Smoky Row Road Block Watch meeting on Wednesday, December 12th at 7:00 pm in the library at the Liberty Elementary School located 8081 Saddle Run Rd., Powell, Ohio 43065.  Officer Carl Johnson from the Columbus Police Department will be speaking at the meeting.  Once we have 3 meetings we will be considered an official Block Watch that will be recognized by the City of Columbus.  After the 3^rd meeting the City will also post street signs that say Neighborhood Watch Area in our community to warn criminals that we are watching! 

 

A community-based crime prevention program is a simple and direct approach toward protecting our community from criminal attacks. The program involves the reduction of criminal opportunity through citizen’s participation in crime prevention measures, such as being alert and aware, reporting suspicious and criminal activity to the police, and initiating actions which reduce criminal opportunity.  To make a COMMUNITY BLOCK WATCH effective we need to work together as a community.  We would like to invite you to join our efforts in making our community a safer place to live.  Please visit our blog at www.powellblockwatch.blogspot.com for educational information and  tips on how to keep alert as to criminal activity in our area.  If you would like to join our efforts please email the Block Watch at powellblockwatch@aol.com.  At the very least we are asking everyone to please report any suspicious activity to the Columbus Police Department immediately at 614-645-4545.  We appreciate your efforts toward making our community a safer place to live.

 

If you plan to attend the Block Watch meeting please RSVP to powellblockwatch@aol.com.  Thank you for your involvement!!!

 

We would like to give a special thank you to Principal Holly Coombs and the staff at Liberty Elementary for accommodating our group.
