Block Watch Information for MF1

In  the past when we tried to start a Block Watch for our complex the rules of Block Watch were stringent on having everyone use an engraving tool to mark their valuables with your driver’s license; another rule was that we had to have a certain percent of the residents participate before the City of Kent would bestow the official title of  “Block Watch” onto MF1.  We missed that criteria by a long shot and we just never were able to pull it together.

 We learned at the meeting, the City of Kent has simplified the rules and now you aren’t required to engrave your valuables (although still highly recommended) but you can also do it online making it much easier.  They also have eased up on the number of participants so qualifying is now simplified as well.

At our March Board Meeting we discussed in detail the sort of information we need to participate (we need to have our email address updated so we can contact people in an emergency), post new signs in the neighborhood, pass out information for participation in Block Watch and have residents post Block Watch stickers in their front window visible to the street.

Watch for additional information posted at mailboxes on Block Watch.
