<br />Community Watch Notification System . <br /> <br />A system designed to notify our residents of crime information In our <br />communities that is updated bi-weekly. <br /> <br />The system allows us to maintain contact with our block contains in sending <br />crime prevention information to them by phone. The block captains in turn <br />can send that message to their neighborhood informing them of the <br />information. <br /> <br />We have recently upgraded the system to be able to include e-mail addresses <br />for notifications. <br /> <br />National Night Out <br /> <br />On Tuesday August 5th 2003, The Sheriffs Office participated with <br />residents in neighborhoods throughout our communities in locking their <br />doors, turning on their outside lights, and spending an evening outside with <br />city officials, and public safety personnel to participate in National Night <br />Out. <br /> <br />National Night Out is designed to (I) Heighten Crime and Drug Prevention . <br />Awareness; (2) Generate support for and participation in local anticrime <br />fighting efforts; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and form community <br />partnerships with law enforcement and; (4) Send a message to criminals <br />letting them know that our neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. <br /> <br />100 % of the 73 National Night Out Block Party's that requested us were <br />visited by personnel from the Sheriffs Office. Personnel included 25 Deputy <br />Sheriffs and approximately 25 volunteers whom were from our Volunteers <br />Involved In Public Safety and are Lakes & Trails Unit. <br /> <br />Goals For 2004 <br /> <br />My goals and strategies for 2004 are to continue with all of the crime <br />prevention services currently being provided as earlier indicated. <br /> <br />I am in the process of working with our Ramsey County Information <br />Services staff to update our crime prevention website. I am confident that <br />this information will be available starting late December at the latest. <br /> <br />I want to provide our residents the ability to view or print off information . <br />regarding all of our crime prevention and public safety information. I will be <br />working with our Weapons of Mass Destruction Unit and are Citizens Civil <br />Defense Corp to implement their public safety initiatives within our crime <br />prevention framework. <br />
