To the Governing Municipal Body:
RE: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMMUNITY NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
"ALTONA FOREST"
Through the implementation of Crime Prevention Programs, dedicated community
volunteers work with police to help reduce crime in their communities.
One such "Citizen Involved" Crime Prevention Program is Neighbourhood Watch. It is a
project which employs an elegantly simple technique of "neighbours looking out for
neighbours" to reduce threats of crime against potential victims.
This letter is to introduce you to a group of concerned citizens who want to get involved
in such a program. Through persistence, devotion and hard work, these people have
made an honourable effort to form a Neighbourhood Watch within their community.
They have met all criteria as set out in the Durham Regional Police Service
"Neighbourhood Watch Guidelines" and have received a commitment from their fellow
neighbours of at least 75% participation.
The Durham Regional Police Service endorses this new organization as an official
Community Neighbourhood Watch. It is recommended that they be granted permission
to erect approved Neighbourhood Watch signs in their area as a crime deterrent.
