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:
 

10/15  Burglary on Courtland -  Back window screen cut house was entered and a camera, computer and jewelry were missing.

10/22  Burglary on Grovers -  back door open no sign of break in beer was consumed and necklaces stolen. Later on the midnight shift in different precinct an arrest was made of a young man in possession of the necklaces. Good police work!!!

A Black Rock Neighborhood Block Watch organizing meeting will be held by the Black Rock Community Council (BRCC) and the Bridgeport Police Department on August  2 (changed from July 11) at 7 PM at the Burroughs Community Center.  The BRCC Security Committee will be working with the Bridgeport Police Department to promote the safety and security of the Black Rock community. 

Remember the nighttime burglaries in 1998?
