I applaud the city for trying to get the citizens involved rather than allowing everyone to sit back and be entitled to being safe, it is a job for all of us in our communitites, remember the old saying "It takes a village" these are our villages and if we do not act like we actually care about each other then we will go down in a heap as our children watch, I would be ashamed if I did nothing to help my neighborhood be safe, it only takes a phone call to the law when you see something out of place and no need to put yourself in any danger, you should know who lives on your street and you should know what your kids friends are up to as well as your own kids, it is up to us as a community to hold up to our promise to take care of our families, so get out there and stand a post for your kids if not for yourself.
