In an on going effort to reach out into the community, we've decided to start not only this blog, but a series of web sites for every Community Watch in our area. Several have signed on and we hope to have them all online very soon.
The original intent was to find out what was working in other areas, and of course what was not working. In a meeting with several coordinators a few weeks ago we had an open and candid discussion on the workings of a Community Watch and pooled everyones good ideas. And there were many!
We as a coalition not only strive to make every group in the county stronger by education, but also by being more connected. These new groups will now have a means by which to feed off the successes of the others as well as learn from their missteps.

As a united group we can have a bigger impact to promote, facilitate and help guide new Block Watches. We can in effect become an entity which recreates in new communities good ideas with proven results.
