It is unfortunate that these things are happening in Lehigh but there is a bright spot. Neighbors are getting together, that is the start of a neighborhood that watches our for each other resulting in a closer sense of community and security.
The Community Policing sub committee with the Weed and Seed program has made forming neighborhood watch groups a priority. Their goal is to double the number of watch groups in the first year and triple them in two years. In 7 months we have nearly met our goal of establishing 9 new neighborhood watches this year.
The Community Policing group is committed to helping anyone start a neighborhood watch group, that includes coaching, support and bringing in volunteers to answer questions and draw attention with clean up programs.
This is a great story.
