Lakewood and safety

[Eileen Dixon]

I was told about a woman who was jumped on Elbur.....this concerns me....they actually caught the 4 who did this in Cleveland....3 were juveniles...I was told they were let go.....We have to take back our streets right now!!!! Where do I start???? I can not go on just hearing about these continued incidents......and doing nothing!

From information I have read on this forum, some of your options are:

- Be vigilant and call the police whenever you view something suspicious as related to crime

- Get involved in one of the existing block watches within the city, or possibly try to initiate one for your area.

- Talk to your neighbors, build a stronger sense of community and awareness between you and them

- Prevention: educate yourself on the types of crime occurring in your area and take precautionary actions to stop them from happening (example: house security, lighting, etc)

Just some thoughts...
