City of Bellemeade

Officer Roger Pickett, LMPD Neighborhood Watch Resource Officer, has made himself available July 12/13 to meet with any and all interested Bellemeade residents.  What we need now is a head count of the number of people who would like to attend and a place to meet.  Volunteers? 

I am glad  someone got through to Officer Pickett.

I will be happy to arrage a venue. July 12 works best

Wish my emails were wroking correctly, some get through and some don't.

The majority of  those responding to this post and to the email to the Block Captains has established July 12 as the preferred date.  As soon as Larry has arranged the location and Officer Pickett has agreed to the July 12th date for sure, the time and location will be posted on this site.  This is an open meeting; please try to have at least two people from each block attend.

Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

I received confirmation from Officer Pickett this morning that he has put our Bellemeade  Neighborhood Watch meeting on his calendar for July 12, 2011..  Now all we need is the venue (location) which will determine the time.

We also could use more commitments from Bellemeade residents residents.  The response from residents has been quicker and larger than expected, but the more people we get actively participating in this essential endeavor, the more likely it is to work.  Acting as a community to increase public safety will become more of a necessity as our population ages and the potential for crime increases for a number of reasons.  We have already seen an increase in vehicle break ins and home invasions in the eastern part of the county in which the bad guys took only prescription medicines, guns, jewelery, and money or ripped out the copper wiring/piping or the AC. 

In the face of all of that, it is important that we make ourselves more aware and more prepared.  Each one of us is the first line of defense and the best defense is a good offense.  Proactively and collectively, we can put the bad guys at our mercy

Thanks to those 14 people who responded immediately.
