NLNA Now Has A Safety Committee – First Meeting on Weds, Nov 14
at 7pm in the Northern Liberties Community Center (700 N 3rd Street)
If you care about safety in this area,and we know you do...join us!
What's on the agenda?Since we are getting into the holiday season, we’ll focus on package theft prevention, create a comprehensive list of resources for package delivery, and get the info out there through a campaign. Other issues the safety committee can help with:1. Street lighting2. Security cameras (the police have a program for businesses) 3. Car theft prevention 4. Office of Homeless Services 5. Continue to collaborate with Police on information for crime prevention6. Help plan community activities to bring neighbors together. We want to encourage people to get to know their neighbors bc that also helps with crime prevention. Activities like block parties, block yard sales, stoop nights, holiday decorating contests.Some neighbors have asked if the NLNA (Safety Committee) will lead a town watch with neighbors walking around. There have been multiple efforts to lead a town watch in the past, often times a group of people will show up the first walk, then it fizzles out after that.If any neighbors are interested in starting a town watch, I can help promote your events and you can meet at the NLNA community center if you’d like. The police have encouraged other ways to help prevent crime such as more lighting and cameras which they have programs to supply both to the neighborhood. Other ideas for safety and crime prevention are most welcome. Share your thoughts! Come to the meeting! An RSVP is appreciated, but not required! Contact: Lemaniesea@gmail.com —
