Community watch flexes crime-fighting muscles
Residents were treated to quite a spectacle as the long procession of vehicles with lights flashing made their way through the area.
The Florida Block Watch (FBW) took to the road with their partners in crime fighting on October 24 in a show of strength to deter criminals and promote collaboration in keeping their neighbourhoods safe.
According to FBW chairperson John Kirsten, the high-visibility drive through the FBW coverage area also served to reassure residents that they are in good hands.
“We work closely with all the security companies that are active within our communities,” he says.
“Operations like these promote the message that we are all in this together.
“The local security companies push their competitiveness aside and work together for the good of the communities that they serve, collaborating with the local community structures to achieve a common goal.”
FBW was joined by EC Security, Help24 Secure, and Fidelity ADT in conducting a high-visibility patrol through the area.
Residents were treated to quite the spectacle as a long procession of vehicles with their bright lights flashing made their way through Florida, visiting crime hotspots along the way.
“The onset of warmer weather means people are out and about more at night,” says Kirsten.
“With this patrol we seek to show criminals that we are here and always watching, and to reassure residents that efforts are constantly being made to ensure their safety within our neighbourhoods.”
