> I wanted to give everyone an update on our Neighborhood Watch efforts, and
> invite you to check out and JOIN our new website/Yahoo Group at
> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/northfieldwatch/. It is also linked from the
> Northfield Neighborhood Association website.
>
> The Watch website includes a list of Block Captains, their contact
> info/blocks covered, crime prevention tips, APD info, files, forms, and other
> helpful links. There are 39 volunteer Block Captains in Northfield. Feel
> free to get in touch with your Block Captain if you have concerns about crime
> and security in the hood.
>
> According to APD stats, the Northfield burglary rate dropped significantly in
> Nov-Dec (even compared to the previous year). There were only 13 burglaries
> in Nov-Dec 2007, compared to 27 burglaries in Sep-Oct 2007. In Nov-Dec the
> previous year, there were 23 burglaries. In addition to key arrests, the
> recent reduction could be partly attributed to increased awareness and police
> calls.
>
> Together, the Block Captains raised $540 in donations to purchase 11 street
> signs. Neighborhood Watch signs can be a visual deterrent to criminals. The
> signs are an indication that neighbors are alert and watching and willing to
> call police about suspicious activities. The first batch of signs were
> installed last week in the following major entry points:
>
> 1. E. 51st/Caswell (near Airport)
> 2. E. 53rd/Martin
> 3. Martin/Bruning
> 4. North Loop/Ave F
> 5. W. 51st/Guadalupe (IF fields)
> 6. North Loop/Huisache
> 7. Chesterfield/55th
> 8. Nelray/Guadalupe
> 9. 55th/Ave F
> 10. Guadalupe/55th 1/2
> 11. Guadalupe/Zennia
>
> In December, a Northfield business owner and another resident made donations
> totalling $300. At the January 7 Neighborhood Association meeting, the NNA
> voted to approve a matching $300 donation. Thanks to all!
>
> Now we have $600 to buy more signs. We tentatively discussed installing
> signs at other entry points. If you have suggestions, please post a message
> through the group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/northfieldwatch/ or send me
> an email. Here's a list of possibilities:
>
> 1. Duval/56th
> 2. 56th/Middle Fiskville
> 3. Zennia/Lamar
> 4. Franklin/Lamar
> 5. Ave F/51st
