Public Safety/Block Watch Breakfast Seminar
January 19th from 9 to 10:30 AM
Held at the Burroughs Community Center
 
Please join the BRCC for a social breakfast to talk about forming our block watch as well as any public safety concerns. Below is a description of how the block watch works. We are looking for volunteers to join in this effort as Area coordinators and Street Captains.  Hope you join us on January 19th.
 
How the BRCC Neighborhood Block Watch works:
 
The Public Safety Committee of the BRCC is forming a Registered Neighborhood Block Watch with the Bridgeport Police Department. We will work with the Bridgeport Police and neighbors to promote the safety and security of the community. It consists of neighbors from all areas of Black Rock working together in a variety of roles to enhance the quality of life which Black Rock has always enjoyed. Heading this committee is a chairperson who oversees area coordinators, who in turn communicate directly with street captains.
The Public Safety Committee chairperson serves as the liaison between the police department and the area coordinators.  Additionally, the chairperson in conjunction with the BRCC Steering Committee organizes meetings with residents, police and elected officials and runs educational forums to promote crime prevention and safety awareness.
Area coordinators… oversee sectors of the neighborhood. In addition to recruiting street captains, area coordinators also communicate regularly with captains in order to maintain a consistent and accurate flow of information related to criminal activity and safety concerns. The area coordinators communicate regularly with each other and with the Public Safety Committee chairperson.
Street captains… are responsible for communicating information with their neighbors and keeping them informed of any suspicious activities or concerns. They will also encourage neighbors to contact their street captain with any information related to security issues.
Please join in our efforts to create a safer Black Rock by volunteering to become an area coordinator or street captain or by volunteering to assist in ongoing education and safety awareness programs.
