BIA Crime Prevention Committee Meeting, April 1, 2009
The following committee members were present: Susan Ratterree, Chair, Barbara Snyder, David Snyder, William A. McLean, Kevin Caldwell, Danny Fitzpatrick, Lisa Fitzpatrick, Kelli Wright, Sue Mary, Letha Ratliff, Duffy Voigt
The following was discussed at this meeting:
Susan Ratterree reported on procedures going forward for the organization of Neighborhood Watch. Neighborhood Watch Officer TV Tran suggested the following:
- Neighborhood Watch meetings should be carried out in small groups so that participants know one another and become involved. Best if meetings are held at a participant’s home, preferably outside in the front yard. Neighborhood Watch should strive for visibility.
- Officer Tran will be available for four meetings covering personal safety, prevention of home burglaries, auto theft, the marking of possessions, and other topics. At the fourth session, he will provide a Neighborhood Watch sign to designate the participating area.
- Individual Neighborhood Watch groups will call Tran to set up a schedule of meetings to be held once a month. Each session will last 45 minutes or so.
Ms. Ratterree reported on the last NonPac meeting. Asst. DA Graham Martin said that his office is working hard to improve police reporting for crimes in an effort to strengthen cases when they go to court. He said the aim is to go to trial within six months of an arrest. An effort is being made to have trials begin on time so that police officers scheduled to testify do not waste valuable time waiting in court.
She said that court watch volunteers are needed to monitor trials.
Walk Broadmoor: Walks will begin at the BIA playground. Walks are scheduled twice a month. Those making three walks (about two miles each) will receive a T-shirt. The first walk dates are: April 18th at 10:00 am and April 28th at 5:00 pm.
Police Housing Initiative: Plans are underway for an open house to introduce first responders to the program. Drinks and food will be served at the BIA headquarters. The aim is to eventually make 20 properties available to first responders.
Crime Prevention Flyer: Work is ongoing on the streamlining of the BIA’s crime prevention flyer. The flyer will be packed with information to help residents cope with crime in their neighborhoods.
The next BIA Crime Prevention Committee meeting will be May 6, 2009.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30. |
