Midtown Neighborhood Watch gathering steam
The fledgling Neighborhood Watch in Prince Albert’s Midtown is getting set to to combat the surge in petty crime in the area, including regular formal night patrols.
President of the group, Peter John said there’ll be a planning session within the next week to discuss a community barbecue. The event planned for the fall will fundraise for equipment and signage, as well as security lighting for back alleys that run adjacent to Central Ave.
He had high hopes more people will join those who’ve voiced their support for a patrol.
“I want to see a very formalized group of trained people with equipment like radios and reflective vests going out on a rotating basis, especially between the hours of 1 a.m. and 4 a.m.,” John said.
