NEIGHBORHOOD VOICE

From the desk of the Housing Coordinator - R.S. Nieves:

In this month’s column, I would like to once again talk about Neighborhood Safety. Unfortunately, crime & dis-turbances are not going away. If you would like to learn more about what you can do to address the issues in your 14621 neighborhood, please contact your Neighborhood Service Center (NSC) at (585) 428-7660, or Group 14621. The following are some tips that can help keep your neigh-borhood safe. Get involved in your neighborhood block club. If there

aren’t any block clubs in your area, then contact us, we can help you establish one. In block clubs you can estab-lish relationships with your neighbors so that you can look out for each other if there are any concerns, alerts or any suspicious behavior going on in your neighbor-hood.

Leave your back and front yard lights on at night. Or use auto timers that will turn on the lights when you and your family aren't home. Or install motion lights that only turn on as they pick up movement.

Keep doors/windows locked at all times, never open the door to someone you don't know. Never, ever leave your spare key under the doormat or in your mailbox.

Establish where your child can and cannot go in the neighborhood. Tell them not to speak to strangers. Teach your child that it is okay to be suspicious of an adult. Just because someone knows their name doesn't mean the child should or can trust that person.

Make sure that your children know their phone num-bers and address.

ALWAYS CALL 911 to report any and all illegal or sus-picious activity.

Take advantage of the opportunity to speak with Rochester’s Chief Sheppard on Thur. March 29th, at G14621 office.
