New Neighborhood Watch Offices Open

Lanett AL. The Lanett Neighborhood Watch Opens it new offices 307 South 3rd Ave., Lanett, Alabama 36863

LANETT -- In a spirit of trying to stop crime in its tracks, residents of the Lanett mill village have organized a Neighborhood Watch program for their residential area.

This anti-crime effort has proven effective in many other residential areas. Several mill village residents have headed up a cause of making the mill village a safer place to be. Following a discussion with law enforcement officials at city hall on what could be done, they've opted for a Neighborhood Watch.

A program that involves the joint efforts of the police department and members of the community, Neighborhood Watch is designed to enhance neighborhood security, heighten the community's power of observation and encourage mutual assistance and concern among neighbors.

The idea for the program began after Lurlie Jennings appeared before the city council on Jan. 7 to discuss problems in the neighborhood.

Among her complaints were stray dogs that wouldn't let her leave her porch, people walking up and down the streets at night, youths causing property damage and people lining up across the streets and blocking traffic as they walked down the street.

One of Jennings' reasons for getting involved in the Neighborhood Watch program is to help the neighborhood build a positive relationship with the police department. It's also an effective means, she believes, of helping to identify the problems residents are having.
