Neighbors, over the last couple of weeks there have been a number of crimes committed in Jamaica Plain. The good news is that 911 was called and BPD was able to make some good arrests. Check out Captain Greland's posts - http://bit.ly/2g7DzK

The bad news is, crimes are still being committed. BPD has stepped up patrols in these areas but they need our help.

Here is the plan Captain Greland and Carolyn MacNeil from Neighborhood Watch Unit and I have come up with:

1) Join your neighborhood zone group NOW and invite your neighbors to join - http://bit.ly/3rfyU2
2) Become a zone group crime report monitor. Look at the crime report data everyday and post discussions as new crimes show up. To volunteer join the Zone Monitors group and reply to this discussion - http://bit.ly/17uJvI
3) Sing up to help us pass out whistles at T stops! Join the SafeWalk group and reply to this discussion - http://bit.ly/3mDedQ
4) Become a block captain and pass our flyers on your street when needed - http://bit.ly/3PBpUn

Please remember to call 911 to report all suspicious behavior. Tell them where you and what is happening. No Call is to Small! Remember, be aware of your surroundings and don't use your iphone and personal electronics when walking around or commuting and walk in groups and well lit areas when possible.
