Hi all,
Again, thanks for coming to our kick-off this weekend – the discussion you all fielded was valuable and it was fantastic to see people coming together from so many neighborhoods to tackle a common issue. We’ll have the notes from our discussion up shortly.
In the mean time, for those of you who didn’t make it, here are the contents of the packet that was handed out to participants:
- City of Pittsburgh Crime Map, 2000-2006
- Citizens’ Police Academy
- Police Zones by Neighborhood
- Zone Contact Info
- Ways to Combat Graffiti
- Graffiti Facts
- Graffiti Facts 2
- CeaseFire PA Fact Sheet
- Safe Neighborhoods Survey
If you weren’t able to attend, please take a few minutes to complete the survey – it will help us to better tailor the Block Watch program to your needs. Return it to Andrew Macurak, Program Coordinator at PCRG either by email: amacurak (at) pcrg.org, by fax: (412) 391-6737, or by postal mail: 1901 Centre Ave., Ste. 200, Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
