Hi John, forming a neighborhood watch group is a great start. By keeping an eye on each other’s homes and reporting suspicious activities, residents can help deter crime.

Improving street lighting can significantly enhance safety. Well-lit areas are less attractive to criminals and help residents feel more secure walking at night.

Installing security cameras around common areas and individual homes can act as a deterrent and provide valuable footage if any incidents occur.

Organizing community meetings to discuss safety concerns and solutions is important. It helps build a strong sense of community and ensures everyone is on the same page.

Collaborating with local authorities can make a big difference. Regular communication with the police and local government can help address any ongoing safety issues more effectively.
