INC NEWS - Need Neighborhood Watch Signs

[Chuck Clifton]

Fellow INCers ...

My neighborhood association (Long Meadow) has been trying to get
Neighborhood Watch signs posted for over 10 months.  Apparently there is
some sort of logjam in getting the signs ordered and delivered.  I think it
is unfortunate that my neighborhood (and others since many are waiting on
these signs) has worked so hard to form an association and get block
captains in place only to not have any clear notification to those moving
about the neighborhood that it is being actively watched.

I'm well aware that in Durham the squeaky wheel gets the grease.  So I'm
appealing to you for guidance on to whom you think we should be squeaking to
get our Neighborhood Watch signs!

If we truly believe that neighborhood watches make a difference and that the
City is willing to do its part to support us in this, I would expect there
to be a warehouse of signs just waiting to be given out.  I would expect
Crime Prevention officers to have a pallet load in the trunks of their
patrol cars driving around squeezing neighborhoods to organize so they can
stake out the watch area.  Instead, the sign maker seems to get the wording
wrong over and over and so there just are no signs to be had.

Please advise.

Kind regards,

Chuck Clifton
President, Long Meadow Neighborhood Association
