Initial steps were taken at Vadnais Square <br />and the Meadowlands as well as other retail communities. My goal in 2004 <br />is to establish a Business Watch Group in every retail complex that we have <br />in our communities. I have started a business watch in North Oaks. <br /> <br />Bun!lary Follow-Up Prol!:ram <br /> <br />This program is designed to prevent re-victimization of both residential and <br />commercial burglaries. Burglary victims are contacted and offered premise <br />surveys and literature on burglary prevention to lessen the likelihood that <br />they will be burglarized again in the future.

CFMH is pro-property manager, pro- resident, and anti- <br />CrIme. <br /> <br />The program uses a unique three-phase approach that ensures resident <br />friendly techniques that will be applied to maintain crime prevention goals. <br />The three components that make up the program are: <br />
