A very successful ONW monthly was held last night at the Obs Community Center, which was attended by 21 budding members. Chris, the new ONW Chair steered the meeting well and kept the items of discussion well on subject and on time to 91 minutes. Good participation was made by most of the members in attendance and feedback were given from our four Sector Leaders. We were privileged to have had Constable Mark Berry attend the meeting who gave good input regarding crime types, trends, the do's and the don'ts. The Committee will grow the management and organisational activities of the ONW via our Interest Groups. We hope to contact the individual members of each group, thereby to engage them into communicating with the other group members, to encourage brainstorming, to come forward with ideas and to bring selected tasks into fruition. Any one else interested to join the ONW formally, can complete and forward the attached membership form. We have achieved a strong membership for 2015 of 100 plus members and are challenging each member to enlist just one new member thus - an ONW 2015 Equation: 100 x 1 = 200. At least it was worth cutting my pony tail for 100 ONW members, and hope that the ONW will achieve a 200 strong membership soonest! The current patrol sectors are growing steadily and much more memberships and patrols needs to organised from the Obs community who reside below the railway line. The ONW will be arranging a 'Broken Windows' course to be presented by the City's Safety & Security division which will then be a prerequisite to engage into a training program as Metro Law Enforcement Assistant Specials, which we hope will make a big difference in attending to petty crimes and curbing the breaking of City Bye Laws in Observatory. All Obs residents may attend ONW meetings and can attend the 'Broken Window' course as well. Kind regards James
