City of Bellemeade

Do the residents of  Dorchester, 8501-8513 and 8701-8819 Shelbyville Road, Whipps Bend, and the 200 Block of Holliswood want to participate in the Bellemeade Neighborhood Watch Program?  To do so, please select a block captain and alternate, and agree on a plan.

Bellemeade Neighborhood Watch is a registered Neighborhood Watch Program in coordination with Louisville Metro Police Department.  Fifteen (15) blocks in Bellemeade have Block Captains and are in the Program.

The phone number and email address for Bellemeade Neighborhood Watch Captain are 502-599-7963 and pajowm99@gmail.com.

Dorchester?  You ARE kidding me! Dorchester? 

Mr. Neighborhood Watch Captainman, did you read my suggestion that The Watch alert folks about dangerous situations, not just criminal activity? The boil water advisory yesterday case in point.  Is "The Watch" looking out for the elderly in this deep freeze?

"The Watch"  That sounds like a group of vigilantes; I suppose that they are in a sense since Neighborhood Watch  is a form of vigilance. 

Didn't somebody famous say, "eternal vigilance is the price of freedom" somewhere in our history? 

Yes Miss Kitty, I read it and I agree 100%..  The residents own Neighborhood Watch!   It is up to each independent Neighborhood Watch Program and each block to decide what they want.  In my opinion, if even just one resident wants to be alerted about any potentially dangerous situation, criminal or not; then that should be an integral part of the notification plan. 

I also compliment those blocks that have a plan to specifically insure the welfare of the elderly residents especially in bad weather.

I am so proud of those people who are serving as Block Captains and Alternates.  I know they have jobs, family, and other things that deserve a large chunk of their time which makes them due a lot of praise and thanks for serving the citizens of Bellemeade.  But, even with all of their efforts, I am hearing from people who do not know who their Block Captain is.  In most cases, the Block Captain had already told me that they were not able to contact all of the residents for various reasons and had annotated that on their Block Map.  So, if you don;t know ho your Block Captain is, contact me.  pajowm99@gmail.com
