Discuss program coordination; explain the responsibilities of the <br />NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH Coordinator and the block captains. Proceed with <br />nominations and election of persons (or designation of volunteers) to fill these <br />positions. <br />Ask the officer to suggest topics and speakers for future meetings. Inquire about <br />security inspections for participants' homes (many departments offer this <br />service). <br />Determine time and place of next meeting. The members of the group should <br />determine how often they will meet, but to keep the momentum going during the <br />start-up phase, it is best to schedule monthly meetings. Some of the most <br />successful WATCH programs require members' attendance during the first three <br />to five meetings. These meetings are essential in organizing and training the <br />participants, supplying them with crime prevention procedures, and reinforcing <br />the NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH concepts and commitment. These meetings are <br />also instrumental in establishing a bond between group members. <br />After the meeting, plan to distribute literature to residents in the community who <br />were unable to attend. This may encourage them to be at the next meeting. <br />asey ieolkeiisen <br />MVPD Crime Prevention Unlit <br />Kasey.Keckelsen@ci.mounds-vgew.mn.us <br />763-717-4076 <br />
