Neighborhood Crime Watch - Trainings and Signs coming soon!

Our division will be offering two-hour block watch trainings throughout the rest of 2008, at different times and locations all across the city. Registered groups that send 3 or more people to these trainings (or attended the May 3rd training at the Kauffman Foundation) will be able to receive Neighborhood Watch signs for their area, free of charge! Yes, we will have signs again soon - I know many of you have been asking about them for some time.

The flyer for this event is online at http://www.kcmo.org/neigh/CrimeWatchtrainings2008.pdf - the webpage version will be available on Monday, due to the holiday. Additional times and dates may be added to the list, so stay tuned for more information! We're especially looking to partner with those multilingual areas of the city that we have not been able to serve completely before. Feel free to print our flyer and distribute it to those you know, as well - one of the reasons we wish to do this is to grow the capacity in KCMO for crime watch groups where it has previously fallen by the wayside or never been able to be active.

If you would like to pre-register for a session, please contact one of our office's staff so that we can try to ensure that we have enough space for those in attendance.
