| Citywide Neighborhood Watch Meeting in Villa Park on September 30th |
|
 (Portions courtesy of the City of Villa Park)
There will be a citywide Neighborhood Watch meeting for residents of Villa Park on Tuesday, September 30, 7:00 PM at Villa Park City Hall in the Towne Centre. The purpose of the meeting is to revitalize Neighborhood Watch throughout the city as a volunteer program managed by citizens themselves. Help is needed from volunteers willing to improve or implement communication within individual neighborhoods throughout the city to more effectively protect people and property by simply looking out for each other.
A representative from Orange County Sheriff’s Department will be on hand to answer questions and offer suggestions. A map of the city will be subdivided, and residents will be able to mark off the homes/streets that they are able to readily access. The success of the program depends upon the establishment of informal groups of neighbors who will relay communication about criminal activity, safety issues, hazards and concerns swiftly and efficiently without need for centralized direction.
Those willing to participate are urged to come to the meeting and help rebuild Neighborhood Watch so that Villa Park residents will have that extra level of security that comes with small communities and neighbors who look out for each other. Coordinating the revitalization effort are Wayne and Mary Silzel of Villa Park, who have served in the Neighborhood Watch program for 35 years. For further information, please contact the Silzels at mrsilzel@gmail.com or (714) 538-4106. |
