At the meeting Monday, Guest Speaker Dan Druziak the Hagaman Neighborhood Watch President will talk about how that group started and what it does. Dave Druziak will also discuss how they formed their Neighborhood Watch to include officers such as president, vice president, treasurer and secretary.

Neighborhood Watch | in Community, Events The Neighborhood Watch meeting went exceptionally well tonight. There were individuals that I have not seen at prior meetings that had great ideas to contribute. The group is on the lookout for more volunteers to get involved and to spread the word. You don’t need to attend meetings in order to get involved. The idea is to form a network of people who are looking out for each other. How well do you know your neighbors? Go introduce yourself! Let them know that when they aren’t home you’ll be looking out for the welfare of their property and ask if they will do the same for you. If you feel uncomfortable reporting an incident to the police department because you worry about the repercussions you can call a member in your area who will call on your behalf.
We, I stress 'we' because I am an active member and strong believer in this, want to do as much as possible as citizens to improve our city. That means working with public officials and law enforcement closely. I would like to thank Chief of Police Donald VanDeusen for repeatedly coming to meetings to answer questions and to advise the public on the best course of action, as well as Judge John Clo for coming to answer legal questions so that we are always on the right track. Thank you to the concerned citizens who have gotten involved and taken on this task. And finally, Councilwoman Robin Wentworth for carrying the torch to get this all started and motivating everyone to remain steadfast. We can take back our city from crime and violence, but only as a group equipped with the know-how to get the job done right.
