Seems like we should hold a neighborhood meeting specifically about the crime watch issue.

I think that some sort of watch group could be useful.I am sorry to say that Flint is clearly reaching its tipping point.This is especially true as the Summer months approach,and with the possibility of more Police layoffs.But I am only stating the obvious.We are on our own.
Crime can not be stopped when it is addressed only at the point of Murder,Rape and Armed Robbery.Ask Mayor Giuliani as to.how he cleaned up New York City .It starts with graffiti and broken windows.and speeding on Court st ( a petition was sent to our Mayor signed by 40 of our neighbors re this chronic problem, can you see any result ? )
I would like to know the details of what is proposed in the way of a crime watch,and what I can do to contribute either time or funds.

I mentioned a crime watch a year ago. Seemed it was rejected due to lack of interest and some felt it would be too much work. SCAT was supported by folks on the north side of Court as well as the south side, there was just not enough support from the community.
I would be happy to help in starting something up again, if there was enough interest.

We used to have a neighborhood crime watch, at least on the south side of E. Court Street. It was called SCAT, South Court Action Team. Perhaps it is time to reactivate it.

As per our discussion on crime in the neighborhood/ Flint, I'd like to remind everyone that it's happening everywhere. Just consider the sad story below from Holly Twp! As a dog owner I am horrified...
I hope we can discuss a neighborhood watch! I heard today that a group of young adults were spotted checking car doors down Gold St today. Police were called and had a quick response time but it is unkown as to whether or not the group was caught.

Dog killed, gun stolen during home invasion in Holly Township
By Laura Misjak | The Flint Journal
February 17, 2010, 4:41PM
HOLLY TOWNSHIP, Michigan — Michigan State Police Groveland Post is searching for any information regarding a Tuesday home invasion in Holly Township.
Someone had kicked in a door to the home on the 2300 block of Belford Road sometime between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., according to a state police news release.
The homeowner returned to find his dog of 10 years, a shepard-chow mix, was shot to death. The owner told police his dog was "the nicest dog in the world," and wouldn't hurt anyone.
A 9-mm handgun was stolen from the residence, along with electronics and other items.
The suspect used a different gun to shoot the dog, according to police.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Trevor Radke or Detective/Sgt. Gary Muir at (248) 634-4882. |

Recall petition language submitted to recall Flint Mayor Dayne Walling over police and fire layoffs
By Melissa Burden | Flint Journal
February 22, 2010, 11:30AM
Dayne WallingFLINT, Michigan — A Flint Board of Education member who is seeking to recall six fellow board members has now turned his attention to the City of Flint’s leader.
David Davenport said today that he filed recall petition language with the Genesee County Clerk’s office against Flint Mayor Dayne Walling for “jeopardizing the safety of the citizens of Flint.”
Davenport said he filed the petition against Walling in response to him last week pink slipping 80 police and firefighters due to city’s budget problems.
“As a leader of the city, for me to allow money to be top priority over the safety of the citizens of the city is ridiculous,” Davenport said.
Walling said today that Davenport has a right to seek a recall against him but public safety is his top priority.
“I maintain my position that everyone must share in the solution to the city’s budget crisis,” he said. “I have asked for reasonable cost concessions from our public safety unions. We have not been able to reach an agreement yet. The layoff notices are in the mail and we have a window of opportunity here to get an agreement.”
If no agreement is reached with the unions, the layoffs would go into effect in early March, Walling said.
“We’ll have the largest public safety force that this city’s taxpayer force can afford and the more reasonable our unions are, the stronger the system will be,” he said.
A Genesee County Election Commission clarity hearing on the petition language tentatively has been scheduled for 11:30 a.m. March 10 in Genesee Probate Judge Jennie Barkey’s courtroom.
If the language is approved, Davenport will have up to 180 days to collect a to-be-determined number of valid signatures to get the recall on the ballot.
Last week, Flint resident Carolyn Spight submitted recall language against Davenport. A hearing on the clarity of that language is scheduled for 1 p.m. March 1 in Barkey’s court. |

Many neighborhoods are experiencing crime they never had before. A woman spoke at council tonight saying they have had 2 drive by shootings on Zimmerman in the 8th ward. This had never happened in her neighborhood before.
The new northern neighborhood is experiencing armed robberies in homeowners driveways. Other neighborhoods are having gang shootots on the streets for the first time.
wait for summer, the gangs are already saying they want warfare. |

Also, we will be facing a new type of criminal. I can remember Sheriff Pickell discussing desperate and newly unemployed people committing crimes.
When the newly released felons return to no chance of a job they will be vulnerable for recidivism. |

How many residents want to patrol their neighborhoods with crime watch signs on their cars? Makes an inviting target.
We have a crime watch in our neighborhood. We all know one another and what people's schedules are. We keep an eye on each others houses & call 911 when we see something. We don't patrol - we keep our eyes & ears open. All it takes is caring about each other. |

| It is a bad area and getting worse fast. I was forwarded that e mail from a high profile member of that group and then in turn sent it to numerous people. I think people should know about this kinda of crime happening in my neighborhood. Maybe Rebecca should write things on a public yahoo group that hundreds of people can read and forward. |

| The cultural area should be the safest part of town; it's where the mayor lives. I'm sure they get a lot more patrols than the rest of the city. |

You almost have it perfect Dave.
 Adding a sniper rifle to that equation should work wonders.  |
