Hi ALL, Please join us to patrol.
In the news in the past two weeks and on radio last week (567 Cape Talk) Neighbourhood leaders interviewed claimed 20,000 people in several hundred streets have mobilized to take on the drug trade scourge. As you know Observatory already has a thriving drug trade problem which has the potential to intensify as drug dealers and their clients seek to pursue their activities in 'safer' locations. The attendant crime will follow. Car burglary, theft of cars and house burglaries. Lets be ready, Kris _____ From: Stephen Eppel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 October 2009 05:27 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; Adele Grosse; Andrew Fife; Cindy Taylor; Dan Saks; Dan Saks; dawn lape; Gavin Hagger; Hilton Hesse; Kris Marais; Louise Cantin; Nicola Vaughan; Rob and Gill Gimberg; Shelley Eppel; Toby Hewlett; Vicki Heard Subject: Patrols - L:ets Go ! Hi Blue Blockers, Meeting tomorrow 18hoo, 21 Lower Main Rd. Will concentrate on the patrol issue. We have most of the kinks ironed out : We're trying not to make it complicated, but there are logistic issues. Will divide the week as follows: Section A = Tuesday and Saturday (Section Leader - Rob Gimberg) Section B = Wednesday and Sunday( Toby Hewlitt) Section C = Monday and Friday(Steve Eppel) Vicki Heard 22 Sussex will maintain the roster and update with James Cowley regularly. PLEASE START CALLING HER NOW TO COMMIT TO A FEW HOURS A MONTH. Street Leaders and Section Leaders, plse contact everyone to do this. Vicki's nos. = 021 4477907, and 0824190050. What you need before patrolling : Completed Indemnity form on file with ONW. One training session with James Cowley or Kris Marais(or any ONW member with patrol/radio experience) on radio technique and patrolling hints/safety issues, visability, paraphenalia etc. We plan for the radios (We have one per section) to be picked up at the Back Packers on Trill, and deposited there after your patrol. This has yet to be confirmed with Kim. This is where it counts. Want to reduce crime and bring the neighbourhood back to the neighbours ? PATROL !!! Plse call Kris, Rob, Toby or me for questions.
