Every day is a good day to fight crime, but did you know that October is crime prevention month? Since 1984, October has been designated as the month to spotlight what we can do to reduce the likelihood of crime from happening to us. the fact of the matter is, crime prevention is everybody's business and every October, the Sheriff's Crime Prevention Unit and SCOPE's Neighborhood Watch host a crime prevention conference out at the Sheriff Training Center. Are drugs and crime plaguing your neighborhood? would you like to learn skills and information to empower you to impact your neighborhood in a positive way. Learn the SafeStreets program, address nuisance properties, work with code enforcement and see how Neighborhood Watch and Business Watch can be powerful tools for your neighborhood. Sir Robert Peel said, "The people are the police and the police are the people" One result of this truism is the necessity of private citizens and law enforcement working together and share information. To learn more and or to get a registration form, please contact 509-477-3055 or e-mail Vdelcambremorris@spokanesheriff.org.
