INBOX: Community Security – All Day & Every Day

It is time that our community leaders take our safety seriously. We should not have to feel the need to look over our shoulders, worry that we are on our own when we are in danger, or carry some kind of personal safety device with us at all times while walking the streets of Crown Heights. We are a large enough community to have a proper safety patrol appointed for us at all times. Our local volunteer organizations are amazing, but not nearly enough.

We as a community spend millions on many other projects at home and around the globe. There is no reason our leaders cannot push for what is truly important to every one of us: the safety of our families. If our leaders cannot understand what is genuinely needed within the community, they may need to flip a page and reexamine their role in leading our community.

We can all come up with many ways to make this work. To our many community leaders and activists, you will hear of this article if not by reading it yourself. Enough is enough. No one else should get hurt or worse before action is eventually taken. The time to act is now.

Sincerely,

Crown Heights Residents
