Robberies tend to increase around the holiday season and it is
important for everyone to keep their eyes open to any unusual activity.
The College Park neighborhood of Lake Worth recently started their own
crime watch and has installed signs throughout the neighborhood. They have reported some very good results from the program. Calls to PBSO are up in the neighborhood and people are more aware
of what is happening. This is from the
College Park Facebook page:
The
City of Lake Worth agreed to partner with our effort and has donated
the labor to install the signs in the City’s rights of way. Volunteers
from the neighborhood agreed to visit each home in College Park and
distribute the information personally, neighbor to neighbor. The custom
made College Park Crime Watch signs have been created and will be
installed in September and October 2014 and information is on its way to
each home in College Park.
Unfortunately,
in another neighborhood in Lake Worth, the Residences of Lake Osborne
(ROLO) neighborhood, we get reminded once again how important it is to
keep your eyes open and report any suspicious activity. Check out the
account of the incident in the ROLO blog. Crime is not limited to any corner of the city. It can happen anywhere.
Good advice from one of our active neighborhood associations.
Remember everyone, if you see something suspicious, call PBSO at 561-688-3400.
