Councilman Walter Hunt's Neighborhood Crimestoppers Meeting

The community came out in record numbers on July 13th to the Fontanel Studio Gallery where Marc Oswald granted councilman Walt Hunt and Metro Commanders and officers the opportunity to address community concerns. The WCRC held a similar event in September of 2009 with then community WCRC Historical Lead Jim Graves and Mrs. Wright where crime prevention tips and action oriented plans were put in place. Many of the tips were basic and still very important for a viable and safe neighborhood.

Get involved with a Neighborhood Watch group
Never open your door to a stranger or solicitor
Be aware of your surroundings and get to know your neighbors
Stop, Look and Listen to what's going on in the area
Secure doors, windows & do not leave "hidden key" outside
Install an alarm system
Turn on porch light and  install lights in dark areas
Notify police of suspicious activity by calling 862-8600
